Mediterranean rice salad with feta, olives, tomatoes, and zesty lemon dressing. Ready in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients:
  • 150g (2⁄3 cup) medium-grain white rice
  • 11⁄220.00 ml finely chopped fresh continental parsley leaves
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 80g (1⁄2 cup) pitted kalamata olives
  • 200g Greek feta, coarsely chopped
  • 60g packet baby spinach
  • 1 large green capsicum, deseeded, thinly sliced
  • 200g small tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 small red onion, halved, very thinly sliced
  • 250g packet qukes (baby cucumbers), coarsely chopped
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 60ml (1⁄4 cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 1⁄2 tsp dried oregano leaves
Instructions:
  • For the lemon dressing, simply add all ingredients to a sealed jar, shake well until combined, and season to taste.
  • Boil rice in a saucepan for 8 minutes until just tender. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Allow to cool slightly, tossing gently with a spoon to release heat.
  • Toss rice with a generous handful of fresh parsley and grated lemon zest.
  • Place the rice mixture in the center of a 36cm oval platter. Line up the olives, feta, spinach, capsicum, tomato, onion, and cucumber neatly in rows on both sides of the rice mixture.
  • Pour most of the lemon dressing over the salad and mix well. Serve on individual plates, season to taste, and offer the extra dressing on the side.
