Makes: 12  servings
Prep:   20 mins 
Start to Finish:  1 hr 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 1/2 cups mixed rice (such as brown, red and wild rice)
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 roasted red peppers (from a small jar), seeds removed and cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Bring 5-1/2 cups water in a medium saucepot to a boil; add 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in rice and simmer, covered, until water is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly. Toss in parsley, roasted pepper and scallions, for salad.

2. Whisk together vinegar, sugar, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper in another bowl. Whisk in oil in a slow stream until thickened and emulsified, for vinaigrette. Add to salad and toss to coat. Serve at room temperature. (Can be made ahead. Cover and chill up to 2 days.)
