Gather these ingredients: cooked rice, fresh vegetables, herbs, and a simple dressing. Let’s get started!
Begin by cooking 1 cup of rice according to package instructions. Let it cool completely before mixing into the salad.
Dice cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. Fresh veggies add color and crunch to your salad.
Add a handful of fresh parsley or cilantro for that burst of flavor. Fresh herbs make all the difference in rice salads.
Mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make a light, tangy dressing. You can also add honey or mustard for extra flavor!
Toss together the cooled rice, chopped veggies, fresh herbs, and dressing in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Refrigerate your rice salad for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend together perfectly.
Make it your own! Add grilled chicken, feta cheese, or olives to enhance the salad. Get creative with ingredients!
Your refreshing, flavorful Rice Salad is ready to enjoy! Serve it as a side dish or a healthy main course. Bon appetit!
