Warm Herbed Coriander Rice SaladStephanie Foley

If you think brown rice isn't for you, think again. In particular, think about brown basmati rice, whose slender grains offer an inviting combination of elegance and earthy chew. Now add in some chunks of zucchini, toasted pecans, lots of fresh herbs, and the mellowness of coriander (left over from Lamb Spice Rub ) and cumin, and you have a salad that's practically a meal.

Cooks note:

Plain rice can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat in a microwave or steam over boiling water before adding zucchini mixture.
