RICE SALAD WITH CURRANTS, ALMONDS AND PISTACHIOS



Rice Salad With Currants, Almonds and Pistachios image

Summer buffets often feature potato salad and pasta salad, but rice salad, quite popular throughout the Mediterranean, is another terrific option to keep in mind. This simple one uses pantry ingredients and is delicious on its own with a bit of salad or with grilled chicken or fish. To keep the rice grains separate, boil the rice in a large pot of water as for pasta.
