This is a great side dish to take to a potluck dinner or to have with grilled chicken.  Serve this at room temperature.

1 cup dried cranberries
Grated zest of 1 large orange
Juice of 2 large oranges
¼ cup chopped fresh mint

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ t sea salt
¼ t freshly ground black pepper

Rinse rice in a large mesh colander with cold water and place in a medium size saucepan.
Add chicken broth and water and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a low and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes.

Pour off any remaining liquid and place rice in a large bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients and toss gently.
Set aside for 2 hours and serve at room temperature.
