MEDITERRANEAN RICE SALAD WITH VEGETABLES

Mediterranean Rice Salad with Vegetables image

This colorful Mediterranean rice salad is a great summertime dish. I used fresh zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers, but you can add any vegetable you like. Replace rice with couscous, farro, or barley, if you prefer.
