Step by Step guide

Step 1

Combine the oil and vinegar in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2

Can be prepared in advance: the dressing can be made up to 3 days before preparing the salad; store in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Combine the rice and 1¾ cups of water in a medium saucepan, add salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 45-50 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water. Remove from heat, fluff the rice, and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.

Step 4

Before serving, mix the rice with the radishes and dressing in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper. Add the cheese, almonds, dill, and chives, and mix well.
