RQ Cooks: Wild Rice Salad

Apparently this is the best thing I've ever made, judging by how fast it disappeared last night and how many people came back for seconds and thirds. It's a recipe I pulled out of my ass right before we went to the grocery store to shop for impromptu barb-b-que fixins.

I used a mix of wild and brown rice (cause wild rice is expensive). Just cook it like you normally would either on the stove top or in a rice cooker.

Then in a large bowl add

cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half
an entire bunch of green onions, chopped (including the green parts)
a bunch of chopped flat leaf Italian parsley
a couple of large heads of garlic (I was lazy and didn't mince the garlic but just diced it)
juice from 3 or 4 large lemons
crumbled feta cheese

Normally I'd make the dressing from scratch, but I was all ready on my second Moscow Mule so I cheated and used some bottled Italian dressing (Newman's Own).

Add rice to the chopped veggies, drizzle with salad dressing and add salt and pepper to taste.
