Rice Salad
By: Gigi Howe
I’ve been searching for a rice salad recipe for a while.. you have your pasta salads, potato salads, why not rice?! I’ve tried a few but they have been bombs. This one was good. I made it for the first time this week. The recipe does not call for asparagus but I had some leftover, so I added it. I tend to like to tweak my recipes. You can add whatever vegetables you like. I can see adding some shrimp to this recipe and turning it into a nice summer meal. But right now, I will give you the basic recipe. Add whatever you like. I served it as a side dish and also had it for lunch one day. Its tasty and refreshing!
