1/2 pound sliced bacon, diced
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and clumps less than freshly cooked rice. If you don't have day-old rice, you can cook rice a few minutes less than the package directions to achieve a similar result.
  • Rinse the rice well: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, which can make the rice gummy. Be sure to rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast the almonds in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your confetti rice the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland. Cook the vegetables just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Season the rice to taste: Season the rice with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices that you like. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar to brighten the flavors.

Conclusion:

Confetti rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, main course, or salad. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its colorful vegetables, crunchy almonds, and flavorful dressing, confetti rice is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
