Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 8 – 10 minutes. Add the water, rice, olives, and juice; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with the bacon.
