Cold Rice Salad

I love a nice Cold Rice Salad in summer time. If I am making rice for a meal, I always double the amount so that I can use it to make this amazing summer salad. This is a real flavor sensation – it combines the sweetness of pineapple and sultanas with crunchy corn and capsicum.

It’s so easy to make too. I combine all the ingredients with cooked rice and I make a dressing from olive oil, vinegar, mustard powder and sugar. Mix them all together and you have a delicious rice side salad which can accompany grilled meat or fish. Amazing!

To make my version of Cold Rice Salad, you will need the following ingredients:

Ingredients

Adjust Servings:

	1 cup White rice uncooked
	4 Shallots green, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
	1 Red capsicums chopped finely
	310 grams Corn kernels drained
	450 grams Pineapple pieces, drained
	⅓ cup Sultanas
	⅓ tsp Olive oil
	2 tbsp White vinegar
	¼ tsp Mustard powder
	¼ tsp Sugar
	1 handful fresh leaves Coriander optional

Steps to make Cold Rice Salad

1

Cook the rice

15min

Follow the directions on the packet to cook the white rice until it is tender. I always add extra salt to the cooking water. Drain and set aside to allow to cool.
2

Make the dressing

2min

In a small jar or bottle combine the olive oil, white vinegar, mustard powder and sugar. Close the lid and shake vigorously to mix.
3

3min

Place the rice with the shallots, capsicum, corn, pineapple and sultanas in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and mix well.
4
