Artichoke Rice Salad

If you're looking for a good, cold side dish, I've got one you should try. I'm not sure what cookbook this is from, but it's a recipe my mom shared with me years ago. I make it frequently on the weekends to have with sandwiches. My sweet grandparents always send us a Honey Baked Ham this time of year, and we have lived off ham sandwiches and this salad for the past few days...and I never get tired of it! It's full of flavor and is pretty too. The only thing I might add next time is a jar of drained pimientos, just to add some more color. It's good room temperature but is even better after it's been refrigerated. Enjoy!
