Preparation

Step 1

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

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

Add cooked rice, salt, and dillweed; mix well. Add salad dressing and mix until heated through. Serve immediately.
Notes

If you want this a bit more creamy, add an additional 1/4 cup ranch dressing, you know, the secret ingredient. (Ssh!) And you can try any of the ranch dressing flavors like Caesar ranch, peppercorn ranch, or others -- they'll all work.
