Summer Rice Salad With Tomatoes and Green Beans
"This is a recipe I altered aftering finding online - cooking light, I think. It's a great dish that can be eaten/served chilled or warm. The dish is great for summer parties or just something to add to an everyday dinner/lunch. Add 1/4 cup of grated romano cheese after preparation of the dish for some added flavor!!!"

This is a nice change for a salad or side dish. Even though it's not summer I made it using frozen green beans. I forgot about the onions but I think it would be good with or without them. Made for Fall Pick-A-Chef 2012. -
This was good. I was afraid at first that I wasn't going to like it, but the more I ate the better I thought it was. We had this warm along with some grilled steaks. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks for posting.
