    💡 Frequently Asked Questions

    How to store rice salad?

    Put this rice salad in an airtight container in the fridge, and you can keep it for 48 hours. If you make the eggs at the last minute, you can keep it for 3 days.

    Can it be frozen?

    I don't recommend freezing it, as you'll end up with a watery, tasteless result…

    Which sauce to use?

    You can make a basic vinaigrette (2 tablespoons oil to 1 tablespoon vinegar) or customize it: add garlic, lemon, passion fruit, herbs…be creative!

    Which rice to use for a rice salad?

    I use a basic Basmati rice, but you can use the rice of your choice (avoid sushi rice or risotto rice).

    Can I prepare it in advance (batch cooking)?

    Yes, of course, if you put the eggs in at the last minute, you can keep it in the fridge for 2 days.

    When to eat tomatoes?

    June to September included.
