For everyone who enjoyed the rice salad we posted earlier this year after tasting it at an ag event in Kansas City, here's another twist on rice salad. Try this easy rice salad recipe with veggies and herbs, including snap peas, carrots, garlic, and parsley, from your favorite Missouri farmers' market or personal garden.
You can even find Jasmine Rice from Martin Rice in Bernie in the Missouri Bootheel. The Martins have been growing rice in this region for over fifty years and offer both long grain and jasmine varieties. They have 4,000 acres dedicated to rice production in the State.
This will make a great family friendly recipe to try over the weekend. Enjoy!
