  4. Dice 1 cup of grape or cherry tomatoes.
  5. Add the cooled rice, chopped artichoke hearts, green onions, parsley, and tomatoes to a large bowl.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of your favorite Italian marinade (or lemon juice and herbs).
  8. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the rice mixture and gently toss to combine.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
