Always summer chicken and chorizo rice salad
Recipe by:
SamanthasSupper
Delicious cold rice salad with chicken, sweetcorn, chorizo and tomato. Ideal for the lunch box for work or serve at a BBQ. This recipe came about after having some leftover chicken mixture from my chicken enchilada recipe and has been slightly adapted now as a recipe in its own right.
