Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound Arborio rice
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 pound cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
3/4 cup fresh mint leaves, minced
radishes as an accompaniment if desired

Steps:

  • To a kettle of boiling salted water add the rice, stirring, return the water to a boil, stirring, and boil the rice, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is tender. Drain the rice in a large colander or sieve, rinse it under cold water until it is cooled, and drain it well. Transfer the rice to a large bowl. The rice may be cooked 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. To the rice add the dressing, the cucumber, and the mint, toss the salad well, and serve it with the radishes. The salad may be made several hours in advance and kept covered and chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Short-grain rice, such as arborio or sushi rice, is best for this salad because it holds its shape well and doesn't get too sticky.
  • Cook the rice properly: Be sure to cook the rice according to the package directions. Undercooked rice will be hard and crunchy, while overcooked rice will be mushy.
  • Let the rice cool completely before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fragrant herbs.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: This salad is a great canvas for experimentation. Try adding different herbs, spices, or vegetables to create your own unique flavor combinations.

Conclusion:

Rice salad with mint is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give this rice salad a try.
