Artichoke Rice Salad

This is so delicious! It makes a great side dish with any meat entree. It's like Mediterranean meets Indian food. So much flavor! Yes, another recipe from my mom's ward cookbook - contributed by Rosalie Grip. I'm so glad I tried it. It's such a creative way to do rice. I did make a few additions that I felt made it even better!
