MEDITERRANEAN BROWN RICE SALAD
My family and friends all love this salad, which they've referred to as "the Greek salad." The recipe makes enough to feed a crowd, so it's a perfect bring-along for a big party. No matter what you're looking for-something with the Greek flavors you love, or just a healthy, simple salad-it will not disappoint! If you'd like, substitute orzo for the rice. -Sarah Hawkins, Wanatah, Indiana

BROWN RICE AND FARRO SALAD
I had a tiny amount of farro in my pantry and odds and ends of different grades of brown rice, so I combined them. I like the contrasting textures and flavors of the rice and farro, infused with the flavor of the roasted pepper and the vinaigrette.
