Step 1: In saucepan, bring broth to boil; stir in rice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in corn. Let stand for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Spread onto baking tray; let cool slightly. |

Step 2: Meanwhile, preheat grill to high; grease grate well. Toss together peppers, green onions and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the vinaigrette. Grill peppers for 5 to 8 minutes or until charred and tender. Grill green onions for 2 or 3 minutes or until charred. Cut vegetables into bite-size pieces. |

Tips:
- Adding fresh lemon to salads is an easy way to create bright, light flavours.
- Substitute 1 tsp (5 mL) dried basil for basil pesto if desired.
- Alternatively, broil red peppers and green onions until charred.
- Serve salad with chicken, steak, pork or fish, or add canned white beans to the salad for a vegetarian dish.
