Notes
- Note 1: I used brown basmati rice. However, other types of brown rice (such as jasmine) also works well. Substitute white basmati rice, if preferred.
- Note 2: English cucumbers may also be labeled as European cucumbers. They do not need to be peeled or seeded.
- Note 3: Dried cherries may also be labeled as dried tart cherries or dried Montmorency cherries.
