1-2 small Persian cucumbers, diced

Steps:

  • Add rice, water, oil, and salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.

  • Allow the rice to cool down to room temperature or place it to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to cool down quickly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled rice, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onions, olives, and feta cheese.
  • In a small mixing bowl, make the dressing by combining and stirring together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately at room temperature or chill in the fridge and serve cold. If the rice is too hard (which can happen in the fridge), allow it to warm to room temperature before eating.
