Cook rice according to instructions on box. You may substitute part of the water with chicken broth. While rice is warm, toss in a large bowl with the vinaigrette and onions. Check the seasoning. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Check seasonings again. Flavor should be perky. After 24 hours, add remaining ingredients and toss well. You may want to add more or less mayonnaise. Salt and pepper to taste. Chill until time to serve. Yield: 10 servings.
