Notes
Tips and Substitutions
- I recommend cooking the rice the day before and store it in the fridge until ready to use so it is cold when you are ready to assemble the salad
- Use a long grain rice for a fluffier and better bite
- Be sure to drain the pineapple. I use a mesh strainer and press the pineapple to extract all the juice.
- Substitute 2 cups of non-dairy whipped topping.
- Substitute fresh pitted cherries for the maraschino cherries.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped roasted pecans
