This salad is great for using up those great summer tomatoes and corn. This salad goes great with just about anything. It is very simple and yummy. We have added grilled shrimp to this dish and it was delish and nutrish.
Ingredients:
1 cup basmati rice
2 cups water
1\2 teaspoon salt
4 ears of corn, kernels cut from the cob
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
¾ cup of red onion
3 green onions, chopped
Dressing:
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup Red wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
½ tablespoon sugar
¼ cup minced fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. In a medium pot bring rice and water to a boil, add salt, cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for twenty minutes. Toss corn with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and bake on a baking sheet for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Combine rice, corn, tomatoes, red and green onion in a large boil. Mix all ingredients for dressing. Pour desired amount of dressing over rice and corn mixture. Cover and chill at least one hour before serving.
