Description

A simple recipe that can save your family dinner if you're running late from work. The key highlight of this recipe is the interesting dressing made with lime juice, which elevates regular rice to a gastronomic delight. The salad also includes finely chopped vegetables in the form of salsa—feel free to mix and match, but it's best to include fresh cucumber and corn to keep the salad from becoming too dry. And here's something important: if you don't have any vegetables in the fridge, you can use a Mexican or Hawaiian vegetable mix as a filler. Just boil or sauté it, mix it with rice, and toss it with that intriguing lime dressing.
