Notes

Yield: Make about 8 cups of salad

Leftovers: Keeps for up to 4 days in the fridge.

Substitutions / Additions:

You can use apple cider vinegar in place of the white wine vinegar.

Leftover rice you have in the fridge works great for this. You can also use any rice, like basmati or jasmine.

Add apple for more crunch or add leafy greens like baby kale or spinach.

If I'm making this for a meal-prep Sunday for our lunches, I'll put a quarter chunk of fresh lemon in the trays. This salad is so good with a hit of fresh lemon juice squeezed overtop.

Nutrition Information is approximate for ~1.5 cups of salad.
