RECIPE BY Southern Living

Ditch a mayonnaise-laden potato salad for this fresh, minty number. Drizzle the versatile dressing over fresh fruit or grilled fish or veggies.

  • 4 cups cooked basmati rice, chilled
  • 2 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced English cucumbers

  • Salt to taste
