Original Recipe Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup basmati rice
1 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon coarse grained mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/4 cup chopped pistachio nuts
1/4 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives

Directions

Combine the rice and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until rice has absorbed all of the water, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the rice, and stir in the parsley, mint, tomatoes, bell pepper, pistachios and olives.
