Rice Confetti Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the broth, rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Transfer to a large bowl; cool completely., Stir in the turkey, tomatoes, corn, green pepper and onion. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, cilantro, chilies, vinegar, lime juice, mustard, cumin, garlic salt and pepper flakes. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Chill until serving. Just before serving, stir in avocado.

Steps:

• 1. Blend all ingredients together throughly.
• 2. Serve on lettuce leaves and garnish with cherry tomato.
• 3. Note : one cup uncooked rice makes 3 cups cooked rice.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the first six ingredients. Bring to a boil. Stir in peppers. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender., Remove from the heat. Stir in peas. Cover and let stand for about 5 minutes or until heated through and liquid is absorbed. Stir in parsley.

Steps:

• Drain the corn and toss with the rice. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and add to the mixture. Mince the jalapeno, cut the red bell pepper, red onion and cucumber to a 1/2 inch dice and add to the salad. Finely chop the cilantro, zest and juice the lemon and whisk in the olive oil and spices and toss into the salad. Salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare this dish the day BEFORE you plan to serve it so the flavors will "marry". Make sure your rice is cold when adding the rest of the ingredients.
• 2. Cook rice to equal 6 cups cooked. Place in fridge to become cold. (Best to leave in pot to do this step)
• 3. In a large bowl, add green onions,garlic, bell pepper,pimientos,olives,and lemon juice. Stir gently. You may do this step the night before, if you wish.
• 4. Add cold rice to the mixture, breaking up rice gently with a fork so there are no clumps.
• 5. Add sour cream,and mayo. Stir gently with large spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 6. Prepare a bundt mold by oiling or spray with cooking spray. Pack all of the rice mixture into bundt mold, packing gently but firmly. It will fill the mold to the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight until ready to unmold.
• 7. To unmold: Have ready a round serving platter. Fill a dishpan with hot water. Carefully lower mold into water almost to the rim and hold for a minute. Remove from water, place platter over mold and flip over. Mold should release with ease after a couple of jiggles. Sprinke lightly with paprika and tumeric for decoration.
• 8. I usually garnish this with a few rolled up slices of turkey, cherry tomatoes in the center, and romaine and tomatoes around the edge.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except the lettuce. Allow to chill for at least 2 hours or longer.
• To serve, fluff salad with salad tongs, and spoon onto salad plates lined with lettuce leaves. Garnish with carrot curls, if desired.
