Rice salads make nice gluten-free alternatives to pasta salads; like the latter, they can be served at room temperature or chilled. This fresh-flavored side uses three types of rice-wild, brown, and brown basmati-but any combination of rices would work well.

Steps:
- Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan; add the wild rice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Return to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine 1 1/4 cups water, the long-grain brown rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
- In a third saucepan, bring remaining 3/4 cup water, the basmati rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper.
- Fluff all the rice with a fork, then transfer to a serving bowl. Add bell pepper, onion, celery, cucumber, tomatoes, and cilantro. Add dressing, and toss well to combine. The rice salad can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead and refrigerated, covered tightly. Serve at room temperature.
