Salad with rice and eggs - preparation

We have been making this quick rice salad in my family home for as long as I can remember. To this day, it’s one of my favourite salad options, which I prepare quite frequently. We call it a spring salad and thanks to the addition of fresh cucumber, radish and chives, it’s light and very refreshing, perfect for spring-summer gatherings. 

Rice and cucumber salad is a great alternative to popular pasta salads, especially for people who avoid gluten in their diet. Therefore, if you are looking for a fool-proof gluten-free salad, make sure you try this recipe. I’m pretty sure you won’t regret it. 

This salad tastes best fresh, so I don’t recommend preparing it well in advance. Store your salad in the fridge for 1-2 days. The next day, if vegetables produced a lot of water, you can pour it off and add one tablespoon of mayonnaise. This way your salad will tastes like on day one. 

I love to use seasonal products in the kitchen (especially vegetables and herbs from the garden), so I’ve got for you additional recipes that are perfect for warm summer months. And most importantly, you can prepare all of them in half an hour!
