Tips:
- To make the most flavorful Rice-A-Roni Summer Salad, use fresh, ripe ingredients whenever possible.
- If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried herbs are more concentrated.

- This salad is also a great make-ahead dish. Simply prepare it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a fun and festive twist, serve this salad in individual Mason jars.
