Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the oil to a shimmer over medium-high heat; add the scallions and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and continue to sauté for 2 to 3 more minutes.

Add the cooked rice, salt, dillweed, and mix well. Add the ranch dressing (any variety, original, Caesar, peppercorn. . . ) and pepper, and mix until heated through. Serve immediately.
