Backyard Rice Bundle
1 lb fresh French green beans, trimmed, halved
1/2 cup water
3 cups cooked brown rice
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
1/3 cup zesty Italian dressing
zest and juice from 1 lemon
1 tbs Dijon mustard
Heat grill to medium-high heat.
Place beans in large microwaveable bowl. Add water. Microwave on high 5 min, stirring after 3 min. Drain. Return beans to bowl. Add rice, cheese and tomatoes. Mix lightly.
Whisk dressing, lemon zest, juice and mustard until blended. Reserve 2 tbs dressing mixture. Add remaining to bean mixture. Toss to evenly coat. Spoon onto 6 large sheets heavy-duty foil with sides slightly rolled up. Top with reserved dressing. Fold foil to make 6 packets.
Grill 10 to 12 min. or until rice mixture is heated through. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packets.
