Very very good. I used long grain rice, didn't have brown rice. I used red wine vinegar. Also added zuke, red and yellow pepper, green onion and tomatoes and a bit of fresh basil chopped. Loved the dressing. Turned out great. Looks good too. If you need a quick side dish, especially in the summer, this is it. Linda
