Directions:
Cook rice in round glass microwavable bowl (pyrex) according to pkg. directions using water and oil.

Allow rice to cool overnight.

Chop all vegetable ingredients to a fine dice except capers (use whole). Use enough vegetables to be about equal to amount of rice.

Mix a vinaigrette using oil etc. to taste, making enough to thoroughly coat all the rice and vegetables but not soak them. About ½ cup when mixed.

Refrigerate again for at least 2 hours.

Great in summer with barbeque. Travels well and keeps well. You may add cold diced chicken or Italian tuna for a complete meal item. Enjoy in good health.
