MEXICAN RICE SALAD
Tabbouleh-like composed salad fits in well at potlucks. This is the basic version. You may dress it up with a host of other goodies. Avocado and lime-marinated shrimp come to mind. Or grilled and chilled chicken breast. Of course if you do that it stops being a side dish and becomes a main course, but why not? The longer it's chilled the better.

Steps:
- Put the rice and all the vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette and use two big forks to combine, fluffing the rice and tossing gently to separate the grains.
- Stir in the parsley, taste, and adjust the seasoning or moisten with a little more dressing. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for up to a day, bringing the salad back to room temperature before serving.
- Variations:
- Rice Salad, Japanese Style: Use brown or white short-grain rice. Halve the amount of celery and carrot and finely chop them or shred them on a grater. Add 1 cup cubed firm tofu (preferably baked). Instead of the vinaigrette, toss with 1/4 cup or so of Simple Miso Dipping Sauce (made by whisking together 6 tablespoons miso paste, 3/4 cup warm water or sake, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon mirin or honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar plus more to taste, and salt to taste). Instead of the parsley, crumble 2 sheets of nori over the rice salad and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons black or white sesame seeds.
- Rice Salad, Mexican Style: Long-grain or medium-grain, white or brown, all work well here. When blending the vinaigrette, add 1 tablespoon chili powder and 2 tablespoons Mexican crema or mayonnaise. Instead of celery and carrot, add 1 cup chopped fresh tomato. Substitute chopped fresh cilantro for the parsley and, at the same time, add 2 chopped hard-cooked eggs and chopped jalapeño chiles if you like. Serve with lime wedges.
- Rice Salad, Indian Style: Use brown or white basmati rice. When making the vinaigrette, use rice wine vinegar, replace the oil with coconut milk, and add 1 tablespoon curry powder, or more to taste. Instead of the bell pepper, celery, and carrot, add 1/2 cup each cubed cooked potato, cooked cauliflower florets, and green peas (cooked frozen are fine). Substitute cilantro for the parsley.
- Citrus Rice Salad: Use any rice. Instead of red wine vinegar, make the vinaigrette with freshly squeezed citrus juice-choose from lemon, lime, orange, blood orange, tangerine, pink grapefruit, or a combination. Whatever you use, add 2 tablespoons of the grated zest and 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey to the blender. Do not include the scallion or the vegetables. (You might want to use a little less dressing.) Instead of the parsley, use mint if you like. A handful of chopped almonds or pecans make a nice addition.
- Tomato Rice Salad: Use any kind of brown or white rice. When making the vinaigrette, eliminate the vinegar and add 1 medium tomato to the blender. Instead of the scallion and other vegetables, add 2 cups chopped fresh tomato (a mixture of heirloom varieties is nice).Instead of the parsley, use chopped fresh basil or mint, or 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, chervil, dill, or about a tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves.

MEXICAN RICE SALAD
Probably one of the best meals you'll ever have. I can't get enough of this! Learned it from a good friend and added my own modifications. You can use the rice for other Mexican dishes too. Don't be scared about cooking time, most of it you can be out of the kitchen for, and trust me, it's completely worth it!

Steps:
- Sautee onions and garlic in olive oil until onions become tender. Add rice, sautee until rice becomes opaque but not browned.
- Add water, tomato sauce, chicken broth, lime juice, and chili powder. (I like mine with more chili flavor, so I probably get closer to a tbsp, but if you add it and smell the rice mix I think you can tell about where it's at. I also add garlic powder if the garlic isn't strong enough).
- Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer on low for 50 minutes (my stove is a scale of 1-10 for heat, I do a 3).
- Do NOT remove the cover until time is up or you'll ruin the steam build up and it will take LONGER to cook. Depending on weather and altitude sometimes 50 minutes is perfect, sometimes it takes longer. If rice hasn't absorbed liquid, just add 5 minutes and check, repeat until absorbed.
- Once the rice is finished, add the rest of the ingredients. This is my preferred order:.
- Rice, Black Beans, Salsa, Olives, Avocados, Yogurt, Cheese, Lettuce, Crushed chips.
- *NOTES: You can use whatever tortilla chips you want, Hint of Lime gives it an extra kick. Also, if you use white rice instead, amount of water is 3 cups and cooking time is about 20 min--it's just that brown rice tastes better and is healthier. I'd do the other prep work (cutting avocados, preparing lettuce) while the rice is cooking. Toppings are to taste, but for me they add an additional 450 calories/serving, so probably about 700-800 calories/serving.
