Here's what you need:

4 cups water
2 cups white rice
1 ½ tsp. salt
½ cup fresh orange juice
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
4 tsp. grated orange zest

2 tsp. grated lemon zest
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
30 cherry tomatoes, halved
7 small cucumbers, diced
1 cup green onions, sliced
½ cup fresh mint, chopped
16 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled


Here's how to make it:

Bring water and rice and salt to a boil in a heavy saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Uncover saucepan and cook rice over very low heat until dry, about 5 minutes. Transfer rice to a large bowl and cool to room temperature.

Whisk orange juice, olive oil and lemon juice and ground cinnamon. Add halved tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, mint and Feta to rice. Add dressing. Toss to blend.
