Don't be afraid of leftover rice, this salad is a great way to use it up if you've cooked too much. Tossed with mandarins and roasted kumara, it's a sweet salad that helps use up what you have - we purposely roast extra kumara so we can have this salad later in the week.
As a side dish, it's great when topped with grilled lamb shoulder chops or even slices of tender bolar roast and as a bonus, the Vitamin C from the citrus helps with absorbing iron.
