Combine the first 9 ingredients. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine dressing ingredients; shake well. Pour over rice mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours or until serving.

This is a delicious salad, however it makes a lot.  My only suggestion is to have each person add the scallions at the table, otherwise they will overpower your leftovers.

WAY TOO MUCH RICE! I cut it in half

A chewy, but delicous salad. Next time I might omit the raisins to reduce the sweetness. The vinaigrette is fantastic and would make a great marinade.
