It’s no secret that I love making salads that are full of flavor and tasty ingredients. A few favorites include: Cobb Salad, Beet Salad, Easy Orzo Salad, and Steak Salad.
This Sesame Ginger Rice Salad is another favorite. The salad is easy to make and every bite is bursting with complex and delicious flavors.
Rice is the base of the salad, making this a very hearty and satisfying salad. I like to use brown rice, but any rice will work. To keep the salad SUPER simple, I usually use the frozen rice that is already cooked. You just have to heat it up in the microwave. I also love making this salad when I have leftover rice.
The salad has lots of tasty ingredients including: chicken, veggies, creamy avocado, cilantro, green onion, and is finished with a simple sesame dressing. I like to garnish the salad with peanuts or cashews for a salty crunch!
This easy rice salad recipe is SO fresh and perfect for meal prep! You can enjoy it as a main dish or serve it along side any meal. I also love making it for parties and potlucks because it is always a crowd pleaser. Everyone always wants the recipe!
