Method
Green Sauce: Using immersion blender, purée together parsley, cilantro, mint, oil, capers, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper until smooth; set aside.
In large saucepan of boiling water, cook rice according to package directions. Drain; transfer to large bowl.
Meanwhile, place zucchini, eggplant, yellow pepper and onion on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool enough to handle.
Coarsely chop vegetables; toss with rice. Sprinkle with feta cheese (if using). Serve with green sauce, adding to taste.
