Arugula salad with rice, cucumber, and sun-dried tomatoes
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. I really love Italian cuisine, especially salads, where Italians can combine whatever they like. And it always turns out delicious, don't you agree? I never would have thought to mix greens and rice, would you? But after trying this salad just once, I now prepare it quite often—it's a hit with everyone. Make it and try it yourself; the recipe is very simple and the salad is quick to prepare. Garnish as desired and serve.
