Santa Fe Rice Salad

Loved everything about this! Made as written except I used grape tomatoes so that they’d be easier for my tomato hating hubby to pick out. I am just now seeing some of the reviews saying they added some taco seasoning and while not necessary, it would amp up the flavor even more. I’ll try that next time. This is a great salad!

delicious!

Great way to use up leftover rice. After reading the other reviews, I also added in some taco seasoning and that really made a big difference. I also thought Frank’s redhot Chili and lime flavour went really good with this and good rolled up in a tortilla or with Tostitos. Will definitely make again.

We really like this. It’s easy to make with leftover rice. I skip the avocado, because of food intolerances, but it’s still very good!

Used the recipe as a guideline only…I made it with jasmine rice, black beans and salsa. Topped with avocado.

I thought adding the beans or cheese would make it mushy; not so; it was so refreshing, my whole family loved it; my oldest son did mention it would’ve been better with a little cilantro

Excellent

I felt like it was lacking flavor. Next time I’m gonna add more spices like cumin, garlic powder, more jalapeño and vinegar. Thanks for sharing 🙂

I made this recipe exactly as written….all I could taste was vinegar. I did use apple cider vinegar, maybe milder white vinegar would be less noticeable. I think I’d cut it down to only 2 T., and cut the oil down also. The delicate flavors of the avocado and other ingredients just didn’t come through. I think added seasoning like cumin may help. Maybe even using a little mayonnaise instead of oil and vinegar would help it. There are good ingredients in this salad ……I’d like to make it and be able to enjoy all of them without them being masked by the heavy vinegar taste. Another thing……I added about 1 T. of sugar, maybe a bit more as the salad was too sour with just 1/2 t.

I made this for my boyfriend and I and we loved it!! I followed it exactly but I added a can of rotel as well…. But it was awesome!!! This is a keeper!!

Yum!

Yum!

I cooked the rice in chicken broth and used red wine vinegar. It turned out excellent and very flavorful. Definitely keeping this one!

I had to make some tweaks to this simply because I didn’t have all the right ingredients on hand. I’m sure it would have been even better had I followed it correctly. Super yummy!

I used chickpeas instead of black beans and it was great! You get a different result by using different types of beans.

I served this warm (just mixed the hot rice with the other ingredients) and added lime juice. Very good recipe.

Great summer vegetarian salad that I loved and I’m a big steak and potatoes person. I used white wine vinegar, a dab of texas pete and substituted white sugar with brown sugar. Wonderful.

pretty good. i used brown rice, red onion and added fresh cilantro – left out the cheese, jalapenos, sugar and avocado.

Excellent salad as is, I did make a couple changes though based on other reviewers ~ omitted cheese, added cumin and lime juice and used Olive Oil instead of Veg Oil. Let it sit for a few hours to get the flavours to meld. Very good and I was able to use up leftover rice and black beans from the weekend (it’s nice to find a recipe that you can throw things leftover together!)

It was a big hit, even with my Mexican sister in-law. I made it without the avocado (I did not have one). I also added a can of drained/rinsed red beans. The dressing, though simple was real good. Unique pot luck dish

Yummy! I used instant white rice and half a can of black beans, olive oil in place of the veg. oil. This was a nice salad! Oh I didn’t have any avocado so I left that out and used serrano peppers for the jalapenos.
