Leftover Rice Ideas! Walnut and Mango Rice Salad Recipe

 

By Rebecca Garcia

 

In our family, we eat a lot of rice and sometimes, we have leftovers for the next day. It's a waste to discard leftover rice but the amount is insufficient to make fried rice for six. So, what better way than to use leftover rice in salads, soups, puddings and wraps?

 

This recipe for walnut and mango rice salad is incredibly easy to put together and very delicious. The rice blends well with crunchy walnuts and celery while the mangoes add a sweet-and-tangy twist. It's refreshing on its own in warm weather or you can serve the salad as a complement to any poultry or fish dinner.
