The rice salad is a traditional summer recipe, fresh, delicious and full of tasty ingredients. Once you’ve cooked the rice in salted water and it’s cooled down you only need to add the colorful tasty ingredients: peas, cheese, hot dog, tuna, olives, boiled eggs… These are some of the most common ingredients but you can change them according to your taste (or to your  leftovers), for example, you can replace the hot dog with cubes of ham, Gruyère with another semi-soft cheese like swiss cheese, etc. Quick and easy to prepare the rice salad is the perfect summer dish that you can prepare in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to serve. Colorful and fresh, the rice salad is a classic that brings joy and a rainbow of colors to the table making it very attractive to your children….and it’s gluten-free 🙂
