Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup black rice, rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  4. Add the dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  5. Serve: Garnish with chopped peanuts or cashews if desired. Serve immediately or chill for later.

  • Ensure the black rice is completely cooled before assembling the salad.
  • Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the dressing to your preference.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or cucumber.
