I'm not a huge fan of olives, so I omitted them from the salad. It was still very good.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, so I used baby spinach instead. The salad was still very good.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more herbs or spices.

I added some grilled shrimp to this salad and it was amazing! The shrimp added a nice protein boost and made the salad even more flavorful.

This rice salad was a refreshing and flavorful side dish for my grilled chicken. The arugula, pine nuts, and olives added a nice texture and flavor contrast to the rice. I will definitely be making this again!
