Colorful Forbidden Rice Salad

I wanted to make sure that my recipe appropriately welcomed the much awaited-spring, so I added fresh mint, Italian parsley, and segmented navel oranges to this dish (in addition to some other yummy ingredients). The beauty of forbidden rice is you can get as creative as you’d like!
