Delicious Summer Rice Salad! This white rice salad is served cold, and made with a combination of delicious chopped  vegetables.

I love rice salad recipes. Whether it be a cold rice salad with cranberries, or a warm rice salad with peas, I’m good either way. One of my favorites would have to be a summer rice salad. One with a combination colorful chopped vegetables, a dash of Italian seasoning, and long grain white rice.

I personally love making summer rice salad with white rice, however it can also be made with brown or wild rice. Another preference of mine is to serve this rice salad cold. However, you can certainly serve this warm as well.

This easy rice salad recipe can be made ahead of time, and is perfect as a side or main dish any time of the year.
