Wild and Brown Rice Salad

Submitted by graffeetee

"The sliced olives are what really make this salad. I love the nutty flavor and texture of the rices too. A good way to get your grains on a hot day! Use the brown and wild rice that doesn't come with a seasoning packet, this has plenty of flavor on its own."
