- Let the cooked rice cool to room temperature before mixing in the other ingredients to keep the salad fresh and maintain its texture.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice and black pepper according to your taste preferences.
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a handful of chopped mint leaves or a sprinkle of feta cheese.
