Light and refreshing, this fiesta rice salad is a delicious side dish for summer cookouts. It's zesty and full of textures and flavor. All of the chopped bell peppers add a nice crunch, while cilantro adds a pop of freshness. Brown rice and black beans make it a heartier summer salad. This would be delicious alongside a piece of grilled chicken or fish.
