How to Make Algerian Rice Salad

1. **Prepare the Vinaigrette:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. **Combine Rice and Vegetables:** In a large bowl, gently combine 3 cups cooked and chilled rice, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped pimentos, and 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper.
3. **Add Vinaigrette and Season:** Pour the vinaigrette over the rice mixture and toss gently to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
4. **Chill and Set:** Transfer the rice salad to an 8x9 inch baking dish or similar container. Press firmly to compact the salad. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
5. **Serve:** Invert the rice salad onto a serving platter. Garnish with hard-boiled eggs (halved), sliced mushrooms, or olives, as desired.
