In medium bowl, mix rice and remaining salad ingredients. In small bowl, mix all vinaigrette ingredients with wire whisk until blended. Add to salad; toss to mix. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours until chilled.

For a subtle flavor boost, try using jasmine or basmati rice instead of regular long-grain rice.
Two lemons will give you all of the peel and juice that you’ll need for the vinaigrette.
