Rice Salad

I am still sticking with the barbeque/braai theme. Another great salad, I usually use my left over for this one. Especially great if you had chicken a la king last night.


Ingredients:
Rice (about 1 ½ cups cooked)
Peas (about ½ cup cooked)
Pineapple (Queen size cubed)
6 Slices Ham cubed
1 Yellow pepper cubed

Method:
Mix above ingredients, once cooled, together and serve.

Rice: I usually use the left over from the night before, but if you make it the rule of thumb is: 1 Cup of rice to 2 ½ cups water, pinch of salt and boil until water cooks away. I prefer white rice for a salad.

Handy Tip: Add a tsp of lemon juice to the rice water while boiling, rice will stay separate, fluffy and white.

Peas: Again I use left over from the side dish for Chicken a la king, but boil for 5 – 10 minutes.
