directions

  • Mix all ingredients and chill.
  • Best served within a day, or two at the most- rice starts to dry out and other ingredients begin to get watery.
  • Sometimes you can add more mayo and that will make it last a bit longer.

  1. The flavour of this recipe was decent, however the texture was a bit strange. I think it's because the rice seems very out of place and it doesn't match with the textures of the other ingredients. I found it distracted from the shrimp. If i make this again i'd probably lower the amount of mayonnaise (2 cups was waaaaay too much) and omit the rice.
     
  2. I was looking for a way to use up some cauliflower that needed to be used and found this delicious salad. However I was out of olives so used some spinach leaves (about 1 cup) and a cut up red bell pepper. Very good salad but next time I will go a bit heavier with the pepper. Thanks for sharing!
