- 1 cup chopped sweet red pepper
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled, thinly sliced, and cut in half
- 2 cups cooked long-grain rice (cooked without salt or fat)
- 1/2 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind
- 2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 10 to 15 minutes or until charred. Place chiles in ice water until cool. Remove from water; peel and discard skins.
- Chop chiles, and place in a large bowl. Add red pepper and next 5 ingredients; toss well.
- Combine shallots and remaining ingredients in a jar. Cover tightly, and shake vigorously. Pour over rice mixture; toss gently. Cover and chill thoroughly.
