Summer Rice Salad

Cook Brown Basmati Rice and set aside to cool. If you have left over rice, you can use that as well. 

In a bowl, mix the following ingredients or whatever you have in the refrigerator crisper.  Be sure to cut the vegetables into small pieces so not to overwhelm the rice.

Green Onions
Red or Yellow Bell Peppers
Carrots - shredded
Cucumber
Dried Cranberries or Cherries
Walnuts or Pine Nuts
Jicima

Combine the rice and the vegetables.  Drizzle with a dressing made of equal parts of lemon juice and olive oil.
