Total time: 12 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Europe, Greek
Ingredients: 1 package (8-1/2 ounces) ready-to-serve whole grain brown and wild rice medley; 1/4 cup Greek vinaigrette, divided; 1/2 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced; 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved; 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese; 1/4 cup pitted Greek olives, sliced; Minced fresh parsley, optional

This fresh rice dish tastes like the Mediterranean in a bowl! It's short on ingredients, but packs in so much flavor. For a hand-held version, leave out the rice and tuck the rest of the ingredients in a pita pocket. —Darla Andrews, Schertz, Texas

Ingredients

1 package (8-1/2 ounces) ready-to-serve whole grain brown and wild rice medley
1/4 cup Greek vinaigrette, divided
1/2 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup pitted Greek olives, sliced
Minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the rice mix and 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Cover and cook on high until heated through, about 2 minutes. Divide between 2 bowls. Top with avocado, tomatoes, cheese, olives, remaining dressing and, if desired, parsley.

Test Kitchen tips

For more protein, add some tuna or grilled chicken to these bowls.

One package of prepared rice mix is equal to about 2 cups.

Health Tip: These otherwise healthy bowls are high in sodium because of the prepared rice, dressing, feta cheese and Greek olives. Save on sodium by cooking rice from scratch and using a simple oil and vinegar dressing.

Easy and delicious option for times when you're tired of a meat main dish. I will double it next time, just so my husband and I have a little bit extra--it's that good.
