I think the brown rice would work nicely. Just last weekend I used brown rice in a cold salad that I brought to a barbeque. I roasted a few chicken breasts, then diced the meat, and added it to the cooked rice with some shredded carrots and finely diced fennel. I dressed it with a citrus vinaigrette. I made the dish a day ahead and was very worried about how it might go over since most of the guests were not on a gluten-free diet. Everybody loved it. I think the flavor profiles that you mentioned (tomatoes, cucumbers, & basil) would taste even better than what I put together. Go for it, the brown rice will hold up perfectly even if made a day in advance.

I made a cold salad with cukes, tomatoes, basil & vinaigrette. I used the Lundberg rice mix. It has several different rice in it & has a mice nutty flavor. Tasty tomatoes really made it good!

Have tried everything and never found a good substitute for orzo or philo for that matter. the Would like to see how its made in greece so we could try to duplicate the orzo shape with other gluten-free flours.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
