1 cup long-grain rice
salt
black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cups mixed vegetables -- cooked
1/2 green bell pepper -- finely diced
1 cucumber -- peeled and diced
1. Place rice, salt and pepper in small heavy pan with tight fitting lid. Add 2 cups water; bring to a boil, cover, then simmer for 20 minutes without lifting lid.
2. Put cooked rice in mixing bowl, add oil, vinegar and mustard. Toss with a fork to mix well.
3. Gently fold in cooked vegetables. You will need 2 cups total so
use your choice of green peas, carrots, corn, green beans, etc. Add the
diced green pepper and cucumber.
4. Lightly oil a decorative mold; do not use olive oil for this. Pack rice mixture into mold and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Unmold just before serving.
