Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips

Notes:

This salad is best assembled just before eating. The warm rice wilts the greens slightly for a pleasant warm-cool contrast.

Tips:

Use freshly cooked warm rice for the best result. Cold rice makes the salad feel heavy.

Storage:

Store components separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Dress only the portion being eaten immediately.
