How to make Quick and Light Basmati Rice Salad:
Making this fresh rice salad is very simple; the first thing you have to do is cook the rice. We have used rice bowls for microwave cooking, which are ideal for this type of dish, but remember that you can also use leftover rice from another preparation or cook basmati rice step by step.
We then begin to list the extras of our rice salad. Cut the tomatoes in half, remember that I always use cherry tomatoes because I like their flavor better but you can use any other tomato for salads that you like.
Cut the avocado into squares. The amount of avocado is a little to taste, I have used a whole avocado that was not very large.
To make the dressing for our basmati rice salad we are going to finely chop the cilantro and mix it with lemon juice and a pinch of salt. The quantities in this preparation are also to taste, add all the lemon juice that you consider necessary.
Place all the ingredients already cut and measured on the work table to assemble our avocado salad. As you can see, we have drained the corn kernels and we have also cut the fresh cheese into squares.
Start by mixing the rice with the cheese, corn and tomato in a bowl. These ingredients are more consistent so it will allow us to stir them well, without problems, to distribute them evenly.
Then add the lemon dressing and mix everything well again. Finally add the avocado and stir gently so as not to destroy or undo it.
If the avocado is very ripe and soft you can add it directly to the plate and place it to the side as part of the decoration. Help yourself to this tasty, quick and light basmati rice salad and enjoy a complete meal without guilt. You will see how you will be more than satisfied with this dish that has a spectacular combination of flavors.
