I’ve seen this trendy crispy rice salad all over social media, so I had to try it… and it lives up to the hype! Crunchy, fresh, and packed with flavor.
The secret to this dish is getting that perfectly golden, crunchy rice while keeping everything else fresh and vibrant. Toss it all together with tahini dressing, and you’ve got a winning salad!

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add 3 cups cooked white rice to a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce until evenly coated. Spread the rice out on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the rice is golden and crispy. Let it cool completely, then break it apart as much as desired.
Assemble the salad by adding the cooled, crispy rice, 2 cups shredded cabbage, 1 cup diced red bell pepper, 1 cup sliced Persian cucumbers, 1 cup diced avocado, ½ cup shelled edamame, ½ cup diced mango, ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, ¼ cup chopped peanuts, ¼ cup sliced green onions, and 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh mint to a large serving bowl.
Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
