Place Salad ingredients and rice in a bowl. Drizzle with dressing. Toss, then serve.
Fantastic served straight away and even the next day!

Recipe Notes:
1. I like making this with brown rice because I like the slight nutty flavour, I think it adds more interest to the salad. However, it’s super terrific made with white rice too.
If using white rice (normal, not jasmine/basmati or other fragrant white rice), it’s best to use long grain rice. Next best is medium grain. Short grain and sushi rice will be a too sticky for this rice salad, in my opinion.
If using WHITE RICE, you will need 1 1/2 cups of uncooked rice.
2. Coriander/cilantro is a pretty staple herb for a Southwestern salad! However, if you do not like / have it but are busting to make this salad (I don’t blame you), I think the best sub is either 1 1/2 cups of finely sliced shallots / scallions or 3/4 cup finely chopped chives. Different flavour, but still a nice burst of freshness to replace the coriander. Parsley will also be a suitable substitute (3/4 cup chopped) however I don’t think it adds flavour as much as the other subs I suggested.
3. Storage: Keeps for 3 days in the fridge.

4. This rice salad is my rice salad version of this famous Cowboy Caviar by Culinary Hill!
