Delicious! I only used a red bell pepper and the whole can of the black olives but otherwise made as directed. I made this is a rice cooker -- just adding the rice and cold water along with the saffron and let the rice cooker cook the rice. I did add the frozen peas to the rice cooker after the rice was cooked also, then proceeded as directed with the veggies, rice and dressing in the bowl -- this makes a lot which I plan on using for lunch all week! Thanks for sharing!
