Rice and Vegetable Salad Recipe
[Adapted from Joan Namkoong book, Go Home, Cook Rice

Any short grain rice will work -- but Tamaki Haiga works especially well as it has a little extra flavor. However, you can also use a medium or long grain rice -- just remember to let the rice veggie salad come to room temperature before serving.

Directions:

1.Cook rice in rice cooker. While rice is still warm, transfer it into a large mixing bowl and toss thoroughly with about 3/4 cup of vinaigrette. Cool to room temperature.

2. Add all vegetables, currants, olives and herbs. Toss together, adding 1/2 cup vinaigrette. Toss thoroughly, taste, and adjust seasonings - adding more vinaigrette if needed.

3.Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours. Return to room temperature before serving.

Yield: Serves 8-10
