Southwest Rice Salad image

This healthy salad has lots of taste and eye appeal. Add more or less jalapenos to suit your own heat preference. Most people like it this way and I serve some hot sauce on the side for the heat lovers.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still really good! The salad was flavorful and refreshing, and the dressing was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! I made a few substitutions based on what I had on hand, and it still turned out great. I used brown rice instead of white, and added some black beans and corn. I also used a store-bought cilantro lime dressing
