Salad #39 – California Roll Rice Salad

February 28, 2014 by danawyyc Leave a Comment

california roll salad

Some of you (including my mom) may dispute me calling this a salad. If it makes you feel better, go ahead and call it a rice bowl. No matter what you call it – it is delicious. One of the things that is great about doing it as a salad is that you can customize it for your family. My kids both love California Rolls but Gordie always pops out the avocado and cucumbers (even though he will eat them both by themselves). This is also way easier than making actual california rolls and requires no special technique or even special rice. You can use sticky rice if you want, but you can use your family’s favorite kind of rice and it will still work perfectly.

 Did They Eat It?

Nicky: Loved it. Yelled “hey!” when I took the bowl out of her hand.
