Ingredients

Dressing

  • ½ cup white balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice mix (such as Uncle Ben's®)
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas
  • 1 (6.5 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1 cup diced roma tomatoes
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1
Bring water and rice mix to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer rice to a bowl to cool.

Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook peas in the boiling water until just cooked, about 2 minutes. Drain and cool.

Step 3
Mix cooled peas, artichoke hearts, olives, tomatoes, parsley, and green onions into cooled rice mixture.

Step 4
Blend vinegar, canola oil, and sugar together in a blender or shake in a covered bottle until dressing is emulsified and creamy. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate salad until ready to serve.

Cook’s Note:

You may use 1/2 cup sugar in the dressing if you prefer a sweeter taste. White balsamic vinegar is favored over other kinds suggested. The salad may require some added salt and pepper to taste. There is none added during the preparation.
