  • 100 g Cherry Tomatoes (quartered)

Method

  • In a small jar, mix the zest and juice of half a lemon, garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, and olive oil.

  • Loosen the rice out with a spoon or wet hands so that the rice grains are separated.

  • In a large bowl, mix leftover rice and the rest of the salad ingredients. Drizzle the dressing and mix thoroughly.

  • Serve with chopped fresh herbs like basil or parsley if desired.

Medium Grain

White medium grain rice is a round, tender and succulent grain, allowing it to lock in moisture when it is cooked. This rice is often used in dishes that require a bit more creaminess, like paella or risotto. It is also ideal in your favourite Middle Eastern, Korean and Spanish dishes.
