Insalata Di Riso Rice Salad Recipes

Steps:

• The rice can be long grain but I prefer arborio. Boil the rice in plenty of salted water and a little oil until it's al dente. Drain the rice and rinse in cold water.
• Add all other ingredients. You just want to add enough oil so that the rice doesn't stick together. Mix well.
• Chill in the refrigerator.
• Instead of tuna or in addition to it, you can add a chopped up hot dog and chopped ham.

Steps:

• Cook the rice in boiling salted water according to the instructions on the package, stirring often. In a colander, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain. In a large bowl, mix together the rice, fontina cheese, mozzarella, scamorza cheese, cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, and anchovies. Toss well. Add the olive oil and salt, to taste. Let rest for an hour in the refrigerator before serving.

Steps:

• For the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and oregano.
• For the salad: To the dressing, add the cooked rice, prosciutto, cheese, peppers, peas, olives, salt, fennel and tuna and basil if using. Toss well to coat in the dressing. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to let the flavors marry. Top with the hard-boiled eggs if using and serve.
