Hints & Tips
- Use cold rice – Cooking the rice ahead and chilling it will help keep the salad light and fluffy.
- Adjust sweetness – Add more or less peach syrup depending on your preference for sweetness.
- Make it creamier – Stir in a little extra mayonnaise or a spoon of plain yogurt for a creamier texture.
- Try fresh fruit – Swap canned peaches for fresh mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
- Best served cold – Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving for maximum freshness.
