Spring Salad

My mother used to make this dish when I was a little girl, and it is still one of my favorites to this day… And my children love it too!

I love making it during the summer, because it has vegetables, carbohydrates and proteins and serves as a complete meal, as well as being fresh and light.

Ingredients:

• Cooked white or brown rice
• Canned corn, drained
• Shredded carrot
• Sweet cooked ham, sliced or thick, but cut into small pieces
• Red or sweet onion, diced
• Salt and pepper
• White wine or apple cider vinegar
• Olive oil

Preparation:

First we prepare the boiled rice. Allow to cool.

Mix the rice, corn, shredded carrot, ham and onion in a salad bowl and stir well so that the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Add salt and pepper, vinegar to taste and a drizzle of olive oil. Cover and put in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours. Before serving, add a little bit more olive oil, as the rice tends to absorb it. This way it will be juicier when you serve it.

Enjoy!
