Fruited Rice Salad

Ingredients

• For the dressing
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/8 cup champagne vinegar
• 1/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• For the salad
• 4 cups cooked brown rice (I like short grain the best), room temperature or slightly warm, but not cold or super hot
• 1 cup diced red onion
• 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries or fresh pomegranate arils, or a mixture of both
• 1 cup chopped toasted pecans (or crumbled in your hand if you're lazy like me)
• 4 tablespoons chopped flat leaf (Italian) parsley, and maybe some mint, too, if you like mint in your food
