Rice A Roni Salad

Salad

This Rice-A-Roni salad is great for a potluck. Variations may include adding more veggies or using shrimp instead of chicken. If you're careful about the amount of dressing you stir in, this salad can be chilled and unmolded onto a plate.

Ingredients

1 (13.8 ounce) package chicken flavored rice mix (e.g. Rice A Roni)
¼ tablespoon butter
5 cups water
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped cooked chicken breast meat
½ cup mayonnaise
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Description

Combine rice-vermicelli mix and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until vermicelli is golden brown. Slowly stir in water and seasoning packet; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer rice to a large serving bowl and place in the refrigerator to chill.
Add green onions, water chestnuts, celery, chicken, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to rice in the bowl; mix until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator until serving time.
