Directions
2. In a large bowl, combine cooked cooled rice, and the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the tomatoes. Stir gently until well blended.
3. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. Flavors taste best when made 24-48 hours ahead of time.
4. Mix in chopped tomatoes when ready to serve. This salad works well as a main meal when paired with chicken, fish, beans or tofu!
