Insalata di riso

Insalata di riso is a flavorful Italian salad filled with healthy ingredients such as rice, tomatoes, tuna, peas, bell peppers, mushrooms, mozzarella, and pine nuts. It is usually served as a side dish, although it can be consumed on its own as a light meal.

The dish is incredibly versatile, so almost any ingredient can be added to rice, even though chopped vegetables are the most popular choice. In Italy, there is a certain mix of preserved vegetables used for insalata di riso that is only available during the summer, called condiriso.

The salad is very popular because it is easy to prepare, and it is believed that it tastes even better as it sits and marinates in its own juices. It is recommended to garnish insalata di riso with a few hard-boiled eggs on top.
