Everybody understands the stuggle of getting dinner on the table after a long day.
Mock Potato Salad
Rice salads are great to eat if you're trying to be healthy, as you're still getting all of the nutrition from the salad ingredients, but the rice adds a bit more substance to the bowl so that you're not craving a sugar hit afterwards.

You can also vary it by using any combination of cooked rice, barley or quinoa. This is a great way to use leftover rice or other grains you have made. You can bake your rice ahead and leave in fridge until ready to assemble your salad. You can also add some chopped raw zucchini or yellow squash for even more color.
