Summery Brown Rice Salad With Fresh Herbs image

Inspired by my Recipe #389128, this is perfect for any picnic or BBQ. Feel free to add ANY veggies you have lying around. My best friend said that it would be good with tomatoes and avocados. Cooking time includes cooking and cooling the rice.

I'm not a huge fan of brown rice, but this salad is amazing! The dressing is so flavorful and the herbs really brighten it up.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover brown rice. It's also a very versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. I added some chopped avocado and black beans to mine, and it was delicious!
