This is one of my absolute favourite dishes to eat during Summer. With temperatures above 30C in Malta this dish is very refreshing, healthy and low Fodmap! It’s a win win situation.

You can make this recipe with just rice however you can also use a mixture of grains such as rice and quinoa. So feel free to play around and adjust to your liking.
