RightRice’s texture holds up for all types of salads. In this version, we take the fresh flavors of ripe tomatoes and fresh basil and toss them in extra-virgin olive oil with a little crushed garlic. For added texture and flavor, toss in small pieces of fresh mozzarella and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.Author: RightRice Test Kitchen
