COLD BAC'N RICE SALAD
My mom often made this delicious (and easy!) cold rice salad for picnics when I was a kid back in the 80's. It was always one of my favorites! I've doctored it up over the years, and here is my version. I use brown rice and Lite Italian dressing (or a homemade vinaigrette) to make it more figure-friendly, but its still as tasty. Try adding additional vegetables or various fruits and nuts - depending on your favorite flavors and combinations. Cook time is fridge time. And this recipe is written for four, but it can be easily tweaked to make for a party or even as a quick side dish for dinner for two. My family loves it! (Even my 2-year old). I hope you all do, too.

Steps:
- Cook rice according to package directions, substituting broth for water.
- Once rice is finished - while still warm, mix with green onions (to wilt them a little), a squeeze of lemon juice, and dressing.
- After cooled, add in the rest of the veggies & sprinkle with bacon bits (and nuts, if using). Toss well.
- Let set in the fridge for a few hours before serving so the flavors can meld together. Best if settled overnight. The longer the salad rests, the better it is!
- Serve on top of a bed of lettuce & garnish with fresh parsley and ground pepper.
- *(Salt can be added, although I've found that the bacon bits and Italian dressing are enough for us!).
- *Red peppers, sliced mushrooms, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, frozen thawed peas or the sugar snap variety, raisins, mandarin oranges, and toasted pecans or almonds would make great additions to this salad. I prefer the original, but add whatever you like!

Steps:
- Put the rice and all the vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette and use two big forks to combine, fluffing the rice and tossing gently to separate the grains.
- Stir in the parsley, taste, and adjust the seasoning or moisten with a little more dressing. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for up to a day, bringing the salad back to room temperature before serving.
- Variations:
- Rice Salad, Japanese Style: Use brown or white short-grain rice. Halve the amount of celery and carrot and finely chop them or shred them on a grater. Add 1 cup cubed firm tofu (preferably baked). Instead of the vinaigrette, toss with 1/4 cup or so of Simple Miso Dipping Sauce (made by whisking together 6 tablespoons miso paste, 3/4 cup warm water or sake, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon mirin or honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar plus more to taste, and salt to taste). Instead of the parsley, crumble 2 sheets of nori over the rice salad and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons black or white sesame seeds.
- Rice Salad, Mexican Style: Long-grain or medium-grain, white or brown, all work well here. When blending the vinaigrette, add 1 tablespoon chili powder and 2 tablespoons Mexican crema or mayonnaise. Instead of celery and carrot, add 1 cup chopped fresh tomato. Substitute chopped fresh cilantro for the parsley and, at the same time, add 2 chopped hard-cooked eggs and chopped jalapeño chiles if you like. Serve with lime wedges.
- Rice Salad, Indian Style: Use brown or white basmati rice. When making the vinaigrette, use rice wine vinegar, replace the oil with coconut milk, and add 1 tablespoon curry powder, or more to taste. Instead of the bell pepper, celery, and carrot, add 1/2 cup each cubed cooked potato, cooked cauliflower florets, and green peas (cooked frozen are fine). Substitute cilantro for the parsley.
- Citrus Rice Salad: Use any rice. Instead of red wine vinegar, make the vinaigrette with freshly squeezed citrus juice-choose from lemon, lime, orange, blood orange, tangerine, pink grapefruit, or a combination. Whatever you use, add 2 tablespoons of the grated zest and 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey to the blender. Do not include the scallion or the vegetables. (You might want to use a little less dressing.) Instead of the parsley, use mint if you like. A handful of chopped almonds or pecans make a nice addition.
- Tomato Rice Salad: Use any kind of brown or white rice. When making the vinaigrette, eliminate the vinegar and add 1 medium tomato to the blender. Instead of the scallion and other vegetables, add 2 cups chopped fresh tomato (a mixture of heirloom varieties is nice).Instead of the parsley, use chopped fresh basil or mint, or 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, chervil, dill, or about a tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves.
AUSSIE RICE SALAD
Updated after so-so reviews:D Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. From an Australian recipe website. Prep time does not include cook time for rice. Although I've stipulated imitation bacon bits, you are welcome to use real bacon if you'd prefer. Update: I finally tweaked this to a satisfactory end, so if you'd still like to try this I recommend it. I reduced the soy sauce and allspice, and upped the mayonnaise a bit. I really don't like salads too big on mayonnaise, but I still thought this could do with a bit more. I also agreed that the allspice and onions were tasty together, and the vegetables added a pleasing sweetness. I think water chestnuts instead of the bacon bits would be nice too. Thanks if you try this again!
