Brown Rice wth Tomatoes and Basil

Here is another excellent side that will hopefully become my daugther's new "pasta salad."

Ingredients:
1 c. brown rice
1 tsp. sea salt
black pepper (pinch to taste)
1/4 c. vinegar
2 tsp. stevia (or sugar substitute preferred)
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 large can of diced tomatoes (fresh would be good too)
1 cup basil leaves, chopped (you can also add garlic, basil seasoning and italian seasoning)

Directions:
Bring 2 1/4 c. water to a boil and add the rice and 1 tsp. salt. Return to boil, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes. (all water should be absorbed) Transfer rice to a bowl. Whisk together vinegar, stevia, olive oil, and remaining tsp. salt and pepper. Pour over rice. Add tomatoes and basil. Mix well. Serve at room temperature.
