Incredible Green Rice

This is a great way to serve rice. The 'green' comes from parsley and green onion. Very tasty and easy! For those saying it needed salt, if you are using a low salt broth of course you should add salt! Also, if you are a salt lover, ADD SALT! It's best to add a little salt to the liquid if you feel the need. See NOTE: Found this in Quick Cooking recipes 2002.  ***NOTE: If you are using chicken broth you may want to add a 1/2 tsp of salt to the pot. Bouillon is already salty and doesn't require any. Likewise with butter. If you are using unsalted and a little salt to the pot.
