The cold rice with arugula, bresaola, parmesan shavings, and lemon zest is a fresh and appetizing main dish that, when left a couple of hours in the fridge, enhances the taste and aromas even more!!
When the heat is on, rice salads become the perfect solution for a fresh, quick, and nutritious meal.
This version with arugula, bresaola, and parmesan shavings is light yet tasty, ideal for lunch breaks, picnics, or a summer meal on the terrace.
Very easy to prepare in advance, this recipe is perfect for those who want to eat well without spending too much time in the kitchen!
As for the weight of the ingredients, even for this main dish idea, I suggest adding them to personal taste: for example, I added a lot of ARUGULA which is very beneficial because it is rich in calcium, potassium, folates, vitamin K, A, and C and it also has a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action!
Then the BRESAOLA is a lean cold cut with a good amount of protein and low fat content, so…
The PARMESAN or this time I used PARMIGIANO REGGIANO is famously an ally for our body, right?
In short, this little list is to say that all the ingredients are potentially beneficial for our body, and finishing with an adequate amount of EVO oil will only enhance and make this gourmet cold rice from today’s recipe even more delicious!

Steps
1) Simple recipe for a very tasty main or single dish that I enriched by adding a varying amount to taste, and I advise you to do the same, satisfying your personal taste!
2) So in plenty of salted boiling water, I cook the rice for the time indicated on the package.
3) If you want to speed up the preparation of this seasoned and tasty rice, you can also use those ready-made basmati rice pouches. However, thinking it over, these ingredients could also be suitable for seasoning black Venus rice, but also spelt, couscous, bulgur, barley, in short, it’s a seasoning for grains and rice in general!
4) Once the rice is boiled, I drain it and quickly run it under cold water to immediately stop the cooking and have firm and well-cooked grains!
5) While it cools completely, I chop the washed arugula and pat it dry with paper towels along with the bresaola slices.
6) I put the rice in a fairly large bowl and add the arugula and bresaola pieces, mixing everything well.
7) Then I add a little lemon juice and lemon zest and then season with extra virgin olive oil and fine salt.
8) I mix and cover with plastic wrap, then place the dish in the fridge until it’s time to taste this definitely fresh and very, very tasty rice!
Bon appétit!
