A refreshing salad bursting with fresh flavors, perfect for potlucks or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
  • 1 cup diced cucumbers
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Collect all fresh ingredients and cooked rice in one place to streamline your process.
  2. Chop and Measure: In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced bell peppers, diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley to ensure a uniform distribution of colors and flavors.
  3. Whisk the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well emulsified. This light dressing will tie all the ingredients together beautifully.
  4. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the rice mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly, allowing each bite to burst with flavor.
  5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sometimes a pinch of salt or an extra squeeze of lemon can elevate a dish.
  6. Chill & Serve: Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or serve right away at room temperature. It’s refreshing at any temperature!

Notes

This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Use leftover rice for a quicker meal, and feel free to swap out vegetables based on what’s fresh.
