1/4 c. small capers
1 c. golden raisins
1/2 c. chopped fresh dill - do not use dried!

1 c. fresh or frozen peas - do not cook
Mix all of the ingredients and toss with about 3/4 of the dressing -- add more dressing only if needed. Prepare several hours before serving. Serve at room temperature. Variation: add roasted chicken breast or grilled shrimp for a main dish.
DRESSING FOR RICE SALAD
1 1/4 c. corn oil
1/2 c. white wine vinegar
1 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 3/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley
Whisk all ingredients together and toss with rice salad mixture. Reserve some of dressing to use only if needed, so that salad is still fluffy and not soaked in dressing.
