- Rinse the rice under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
- For added flavor, consider cooking the rice in vegetable or chicken broth instead of water.

- Toast the almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes until they are golden brown to enhance their flavor and crunchiness.
- Finely chop the onion to ensure even cooking and a more uniform texture in the salad.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced carrots, bell peppers, or herbs like cilantro for extra color and nutritional benefits.
- Let the salad sit for a few hours in the refrigerator if possible to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad with a drizzle of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for a refreshing twist.
