Cook rice, 2 cups at a time, in plenty of boiling salted water for 15 minutes. Drain well. Cut apricots in thin slices. Place warm rice in a large bowl and add remaining ingredients, seasoning with salt and pepper. You need just enough oil to moisten rice without making it mushy, so add it gradually. Serve salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with apricots and nuts
