Ingredients
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups rice cooked, at room temperature
- 2 cups corn fresh off the cob or thawed frozen whole kernel corn
- 8 ounces Pimentos diced, drained
- ¾ cup green onion thinly sliced, divided
- 3 lices Bacon cooked and chopped
- 2 tablespoons basil chopped, fresh, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon dill minced, fresh, or more to taste
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, Parmesan cheese, and vinegar until combined.
- In a large bowl, toss together rice, corn, pimentos, ½ cup of the green onions, bacon, basil and dill. Stir in the dressing and toss to coat. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper or fresh herbs. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup of green onions. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
- If using fresh corn, there's no need to cook the corn first. Just cut it off of the cob and stir it into the salad. The corn will absorb the dressing as it sits and soften up slightly, but it will still maintain a nice, crisp texture.
- If using frozen corn kernels, thaw the corn and drain off any excess liquid before stirring it into the salad.
- I love the fresh basil and dill in this dish, but you can substitute with any of your favorite herbs. Try thyme, parsley or rosemary!
- What to put in rice salad: Feel free to get creative and mix-in any of your other favorite summer vegetables. Try finely-diced sweet bell pepper (instead of the jarred pimentos), diced cucumber, diced zucchini or squash, or halved cherry tomatoes.
