6 rice salad recipes to revamp your summer menus

Few recipes stand the test of time and heat as well as a good rice salad. Not out of nostalgia, but out of pure culinary logic: it is easy to prepare, it accepts almost anything in the pantry and improves after a few hours in the refrigerator. Some details to take into account: a well cooked rice, well combined ingredients and a dressing that knows how to bind the whole without stealing the limelight. Nothing more and nothing less. Rice salad is, in fact, a small manifesto of summer cooking: light but nutritious, fresh but comforting, simple but worth repeating.
In this article we bring together seven versions that start from the same base, rice, but reach very different places: from Mediterranean versions to some with an Asian touch, vegetarian or more sophisticated, with prawns and zucchini. Because yes, rice also knows how to adapt to the summer... and to show off at lunchtime, either in an improvised picnic or as a unique dish when you come back hungry from the beach.
