Green Fruity Rice Salad Recipe

1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
2 kiwi, peeled and sliced into thin crescents
1 green delicious or Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup shelled, roasted pistachio kernels
1/4 cup chopped green onions
3 tsp chopped fresh parsley
3 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

Cook rice according to package directions, then allow to cool.

Put the cooled rice into a large bowl along with the kiwi, apple, celery, pistachio, onions, and parsley; toss together gently.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar and olive oil, then drizzle evenly over the salad ingredients and toss to combine well.

Cover the salad with plastic food wrap and put in refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes until well chilled.

Remove, toss again, and serve cold.
