I was looking for a nice rice salad that could be served at room temperature as we were going out on a boat for july 4th and I didn't want to worry about keeping something cold or hot. this was perfect! it is delicious because it is light, healthy and tastes so fresh. it does need salt, otherwise it tastes a little bland. I have made this 3 times already - I have added a chopped avocado and that was good too!

Really yummy and refeshing summer salad - great for a barbeque. I cut back on the onions a bit and added fresh basil. Great colours and combination of flavours
