This simple and flavorful rice gets its color from spinach and kale.
Recipe note from host Francis Lam:
This dish can be made wet and soupy if serving with fish, or firmer and more creamy like risotto if serving with chicken.
If you can boil water, you can make great rice.
Fresh summer greens and bits of sweet red pepper dot rice the color of a sunset -- this is one good-looking salad to bring to the table, or to pack away for a picnic. In fact, I first tasted it when a Spanish friend brought it to one of our "Shakespeare in the Park" picnics in New York. It's indestructible enough to go almost anywhere.
Fried rice is never something I intend to make, but it's something I'll cook for myself when I'm home, my wife and kids are away, and there's not a whole lot in the refrigerator. Fried rice is best made with day-old rice, so it's essentially glorified leftovers.

Can be made hours ahead and chilled, but serve the salad at room temperature.
