Fruity rice salad without mayonnaise

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 150 g long grain rice
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 ½ tsp curry
• 100 g peas, frozen or 1 small can
• 1 can of tangerine(s)
• 200 g cooked ham
• 200 g sour cream
• n. B. Salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Cook the rice with salt according to the package instructions, transfer to a large bowl, and mix with the butter and curry while still warm. Blanch the frozen peas in boiling salted water for 3 minutes, add to the rice, and let cool. Alternatively, drain canned peas if necessary and only add to the rice once cooled. Meanwhile, dice the ham, drain the mandarin oranges, reserving the juice. Add the ham and mandarin oranges to the rice. Whisk together the mandarin orange juice and sour cream, then drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix well. Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour. Tip: I don’t need any other seasoning. But if you like it a bit stronger, you can season the salad with salt and pepper.
