Spanish Rice Salad – Ensalada de Arroz is a superb summer salad that is healthy and filling. The addition of beans and peas gives another texture and flavours to this dish. The use of Bell Pepper whether they be Green, Red or Yellow provides the crunch factor. The recipe is currently a vegetarian dish but you can add cooked chicken, lamb, beef, Pork or even seafood according to tastes. This makes a superb picnic dish, lunch box items or for those on the go. I often cook the rice in advance as it better to include it cold rather than hot.
