Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 pouch @palmini_official rice
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 small English cucumber, chopped
- 2 cups sweet corn
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- ½ cup finely chopped cilantro
Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette Ingredients
- 1 cup cilantro leaves
- ½ jalapeno
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- ¼ cup water, more or less for desired thickness
- ½ tsp salt and pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
Method
- Drain the palmini rice into a colander and rinse well. Transfer to a clean dish towel and squeeze out all the excess moisture! This tip is SO important for it to take on the flavor of the dressing and have the very best texture.
- Add the ingredients for the dressing to a blender - don’t skip it y’all, it takes 5 minutes to make and its so worth it for its dreamy flavor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add the ingredients in the order listed above, starting with the dressing and refrigerate until right before serving, up to 48 hours in advance. Flip upside down into the serving bowl, and enjoy!

can you use another kind of prepackaged rice? brown rice? will it soak up the dressing? hate to buy more pantry ingredients, or can we sub quinoa?
Hi Paula! Great question – I have made this recipe with quinoa, brown rice, lightly steamed cauliflower rice and jasmine rice and all are fantastic substitutes!
Okay, that dressing though!! I would not have thought cucumbers would go in a Mexican salad, but it all totally works! Another winner!
Yeeeees!! The dressing on this layered salad is unreal! I am so happy that it was a hit for you Emily, thanks for the love!
