Ingredients

2/3 cup converted long-grain white rice

3 cups packed mixed fresh herbs, such as basil and parsley

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

Coarse salt and ground pepper

5 ounces baby or wild arugula (5 cups)

1 rotisserie chicken (skin removed), meat shredded (4 cups)

2 scallions, thinly sliced

2 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch wedges, or 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Preparation

Cook rice according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a blender, blend herbs, oil, and vinegar until roughly chopped, scraping down sides as needed. With machine running, gradually add 1/4 to 1/3 cup cold water and blend until dressing is smooth and pourable. Transfer to a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, toss arugula with three-quarters the dressing. Transfer to a serving platter. In bowl, stir together rice, chicken, scallions, tomatoes, and remaining dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper and arrange on top of arugula.
