- 1/4 cup of black olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooled rice, sun-dried tomatoes, eggplants, artichokes, and olives. Mix well to distribute all the ingredients evenly.

- Dress with the oil from the jars: Use the olive oil from the jars of sun-dried tomatoes, eggplants, and artichokes to dress the salad. This oil is already rich in flavor and will give a special touch to the salad. Add the oil to taste and taste to adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Transfer the rice salad to a serving platter and garnish with a little fresh parsley. You can serve the rice salad immediately or refrigerate it to cool even further before serving.
