Basmati Rice Greek Salad
This super simple salad is perfect to pack for summer picnics and lunches or to serve as a side for your next cookout. We love the classic Greek combo of tomatoes, feta, cucumber, and olives, and adding our aromatic rice to the mix turns it into a more substantial side or meal.
