Pesto Rice Salad
2 cups basmati rice (cooked in microwave in 4 cups water for 13 mins)
1 cup pesto (fresh is nicer, but jarred would do fine)
Parmesan shavings
Handful pine nuts
Fresh basil leaves
- Cook rice according to instructions
- Allow to cool a little
- Stir in pesto
- Allow to cool completely, and chill in the fridge
- Stir in parmesan shavings (I did mine using a potato peeler)
- Stir in handful pine nuts
- Sprinkle over fresh basil leaves before serving
I'm glad to say the salad went down well. We had such a lovely day, and were made to feel so welcome by our friends and their family members. Our kids all played really well together, and had a great time. Considering the amount of excitement and sugar, there were very few spats amoungst the kids - and non at all for the adults!!
