Directions

Combining rice with frozen spinach and crispy vegetables, this salad is ideal for potlucks. Let it refrigerate overnight to allow the flavours to mix together and be absorbed by the rice. I top it with cracked pepper and a sprinkle of shredded carrot and toasted sesame seeds for presentation.
