Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups uncooked brown rice
3 cups water
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 sweet onion (such as vidalia), chopped

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 1/4 tsp dijon mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Combine red bell pepper, peas, raisins, onion, and olives in a bowl.
Whisk vegetable oil, vinegar, and mustard together in a separate bowl for the balsamic dressing.
Stir brown rice and balsamic dressing into vegetable mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.
