Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups peeled, chopped cucumber
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups water
1 cup long- grain rice, uncooked
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup pitted, slivered kalamata olives
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 tbsp minced fresh oregano
1 (4-oz) package feta cheese, crumbled
1 (2-oz) jar diced pimiento, drained
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
6 lettuce leaves (optional)

Directions:

Sprinkle cucumber with 1 teaspoon salt; cover and let stand 30 minutes. Rinse well.
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan; stir in rice and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Combine cucumber, rice, olives, and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl.
Combine olive oil, vinegar, and pepper in a small bowl, stirring well with a wire whisk. Pour olive oil mixture over rice mixture; toss gently. Cover and chill. Serve on lettuce leaves, if desired.
