AEGEAN SHRIMP AND RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Mix vinaigrette and reserve.
• Cook the rice in a very large pot of rapidly boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender but slightly firm.
• Drain and rinse in cool water, then drain well.
• Combine rice and half of vinaigrette.
• Let stand until rice is at room temperature.
• Mix in the remaining vinaigrette and the scallions, parsley and mint, and chill for at least 4 hours.
• Just before serving, line a serving platter/dish or individual plates with salad greens.
• Place a mound of the rice mixture in the center, sprinkle with cucumber chunks, then the feta. Rim the salad with shrimp.
• If you store the rice mixture and the rest of the ingredients separately, leftovers taste great. But if you mix everything together, the cucumber can become slimey and the feta can become watery overnight.
