Here's an easily made one that we enjoy.

Tui Flower’s GREEN RICE SALAD
2 tbsp oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 stalks celery, sliced
1 cup raw long-grained rice
2 cups chicken stock or water (I use water + chicken stock powder)
1 tsp salt
1 green capsicum, chopped
½ cup each of sliced green beans and green peas - frozen are ok
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley

In a large fry pan or saucepan heat the oil and in it sauté the onions and celery, without letting them colour. Stir in the rice and cook until all the grains are coated with oil. Add the stock and bring to the boil, then control the heat so that the vessel is just simmering. Add the salt, capsicum, beans & peas, and cover with a lid. Cook gently for about 20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Allow to cool, then refrigerate until cold. This can be left overnight. Carefully mix the mayonnaise and parsley through the rice when ready to serve it.
Serve as an accompaniment to cold meat when a hot starchy vegetable is not wanted.
Serves 6.:-))
