The attractiveness of this Rice Salad Ring is enhanced if you fill it with thinly sliced rolls of beef or ham or marinated vegetable for a summer luncheon. It also complements a holiday meal beautifully and has the added advantage that it can be made in advance.
Good served with cold sliced meats; barbecued or roasted hot meats, such as turkey, beef, or pork.
Fills a 1-quart ring mold, about 6 servings. Spray the mold with non-stick vegetable coating (PAM) or lightly oild mold for easy removal. Garnish with tomatoes and lettuce leaves, if desired.
