Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups water
2 cups uncooked white rice
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tsp grated orange peel
2 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
30 cherry tomatoes, halved
7 small pickling cucumbers, diced (about 4 cups)
1 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
16 oz feta cheese, crumbled

Directions:

Bring 4 cups water, rice, and salt to boil in heavy medium saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally. 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 large bowl and cool to room temperature.
Whisk orange juice and next 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend.
Add halved tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, mint, and feta to rice in large bowl. Add dressing; toss to blend. (Can be made 8 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and toss before serving.)
