"This salad combines two of my absolute go-tos when it comes to turning leftovers into something truly delicious. Ever since the social media hype, crispy rice has been everywhere – and for good reason. It’s pretty much the best thing you can make from leftover rice. Simply season it, pop it in the oven, and while it turns golden and perfectly crisp, you’ll have plenty of time to prepare the veggies and dressing. By the way: you can also make the crispy rice in the air fryer. When it’s done, I especially love pairing it with tuna, since I almost always have a can in the pantry. Combined with fresh vegetables and a spicy chili mayo, it turns into a kind of crispy rice tuna salad that’s satisfying yet still light. The best part? The ingredients are easy to adapt depending on the season and what you have on hand. For a vegetarian version, you can replace the tuna or instead of Japanese-inspired flavors, you could try harissa with olive oil or add some roasted vegetables. The key is contrast: creamy, fresh, and crispy in every bite – that’s what makes this salad so good."
