Rice and Lentil Salad I

Description
I didn't measure, but I used perhaps half a cup, maybe as much as a cup, total, just enough to moisten everything. I let it sit in the refrigerator all day, to let the flavors mix. I don't know how many people it served — it filled a large bowl-- but there wasn't any left over after the potluck (and while I was glad that everyone liked it, I was sorry not to have some to take home).

Ingredients

 * 1 cup wild rice
 * 1 cup long-grain brown rice
 * 1 cup green (French) lentils
 * 1 each red], yellow, green bell pepper, chopped
 * 2 cups small cherry tomatoes
 * 1 or 2 carrots
 * ¼ cup chopped fresh basil (more or less)
 * 1 to 2 tablespoon or chopped fresh mint
 * non-fat tomato-herb dressing (Trader Joe's)
 * red wine vinegar

Directions

 * 1) Cook grains separately, in 2 cups water, until done, 45 minutes or less.
 * 2) Combine with bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, carrots, basil and mint.
 * 3) For the dressing, I used a prepared nonfat tomato-herb dressing mixed about half and half with red wine vinegar because I generally find prepared nonfat dressings too thick and too sweet for my taste.
