This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice. Just add a cup of cooked rice to the salad before serving.

I added some chopped red onion to the salad for a little extra crunch.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it up to a day in advance.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the dressing. The salad was still delicious.
