Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 cups jasmine rice cooled to room temp, cooked
  • 1 TB olive oil
  • cup basil freshly rough-chopped leaves
  • ¼ cup mint freshly rough-chopped leaves
  • ¼ cup cilantro freshly rough-chopped leaves
  • 3 TB red onion chopped
  • ¼ cup lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1-2 tsp fish sauce Asian
  • ½ tsp kosher salt or coarse sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 cup almonds chopped or sliced, honey roasted

Instructions

  1. In a large serving bowl, add 1 TB olive oil to cooked Jasmine rice and fluff well.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine basil, mint, cilantro, onion, lime juice, fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine well. Use rubber spatula to scrape mixture into the bowl of Jasmine rice. Gently fold together until rice is evenly coated with herb mixture.
  3. If possible, allow covered rice salad to rest at moderate room temp for an hour or two before serving, to give flavors time to meld. Serve with a sprinkling of the honey roasted almonds on top.

Notes

  • Initially, rice salad may taste a bit salty or sour from lime juice, but given an hour or two of rest time, the flavors become milder and soften nicely.
  • Store leftovers covered and chilled. Can be eaten chilled or at room temp.
  • If you need dish to be gluten-free, be sure to buy gluten-free fish sauce.
  • If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating ♡
