The Best-Ever Molded Rice Salad Recipe

• Serves: 8 to 10 servings.

Ingredients

• 5 cups of cooked rice HOT
• 1 1/2 cups vegetables chopped or shredded
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1/2 to 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare, by either chopping or shredding, 1 1/2 cups of vegetables that you like to eat raw. These vegetables can include green onions, peppers, celery, peas, carrots, zucchini, radishes. I would avoid wet vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes.

Cook your choice of rice.

Put the hot cooked rice into a large bowl with the vegetables and stir together gently and then stir in the mayonnaise, mixing well.

In a separate dish, whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and then add this wet mixture to the rice and vegetables.

Put the mixture into a 6-cup mold or other container (I simply use a loaf pan) and chill until needed.
