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:
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.
In a small jar or bottle combine the olive oil, white vinegar, mustard powder and sugar. Close the lid and shake vigorously to mix.
Place the rice with the shallots, capsicum, corn, pineapple and sultanas in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and mix well.
Serve immediately, garnished with shallots or coriander if desired
This Cold Rice Salad is a great way to use up leftover rice! Try it out soon and come back to leave a comment below with your thoughts.
