RICE SALAD WITH SWEET POTATOES

February 5, 2019 By DIYBITES

Rice salad with sweet potatoes

I love adding rice or pasta to salads. Always did, always will πŸ’›. Adding 100 grams/ 1/2 cup of brown rice (cooked) to your salad will make the meal more satisfying and will keep you full longer. #winwin

Quinoa, barley, or sometimes even pasta salads can be easily changed by turning them into rice salads instead. You know, in case you’re all out of quinoa, barley, or pasta, dunno πŸ˜….

Rice salads are usually served at room temperature (they just taste way better). So if you plan to refrigerate it, take it out of the fridge at least for 30 minutes before serving.
