This is yet another variation of Salad Nicoise. I have this hate-on for green beans, and so, hence, cannot bring myself to put any in my salads. This salad tastes great .... yummy ... but, it is absolutely superb the day after ~ when all the tastes have had an opportunity to mingle and mix.

Just something I made up, it's sort of a derivative of Salad Nicoise, which the Pilot made for me once, when I was in Somerset. Being lazy on this particular evening, I chose to substitute rice for potatoes. Yummy ... if I do say so, myself.
