Cold Rice Salad recipe

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:
