Rice Salad

[Doughboy78]

IDK if anyone has ever been to Austin's BBQ in Eagle Lake but they have a side of Rice Salad that is amazing. Does anyone know what I am talking about or ever heard of a recipe like this? It's like potato salad but with rice. Recipes??

served cold

Never been to Austin's. I do have a Rice Salad recipe. Don't think of it like potato salad but, here it anyway. It is served cold.

Mix the following ingredients: Black Olives, Green Olives, Green Onions, Celery, Small Can Mushrooms, Small Can Leseur Peas, Salt, Pepper

Add One Cup Minute Rice (cooked) and Italian Dressing

Mix

Refrigerate

rice, boiled eggs, chopped up dill pickles, miracle whip or mayo whichever u preferr, yellow mustard. Just boil up the rice and chop the eggs and dill pickles, add mustard and mayo to taste with salt and pepper, I always add a little more pickle juice just cause I like it that way, wife likes garlic powder but I can do without it. More or less just like potato salad 'cept with rice.
This how I learned to make it growing up in El Campo no taters down there. LOL

Most BBQ joints down here in rice country have some version of rice salad. Pretty much make it the same way as you make potato salad but with rice instead of taters. I like to make it just like mustard potato salad but you can really make it with whatever twist you like.
