Red Rice Salad

It's not really fair to make a dish like this right after 4 inches of snow falls. Satisfying but light, we had fun imagining what cook-out food it might go with. (We're thinking grilled chicken or shrimp.) It's light and cool, but with pleasant acidity and a hit of herbs. It worked just fine as a way to use up some leftover rice and an open can of chopped tomatoes. I'm looking forward to making it with fresh ingredients this summer.

Now all I have to do is get to the thaw.
