- 3 tbsp freshly squeezed citrus juice, or more to taste ( lemon , lime , orange , tangerine , grapefruit
- chopped almonds or pecans , optional
Directions:

- Drain, rinse in cold water, drain again, then put in a large bowl.
- Combine olive oil, citrus juice, zest, sugar or honey, salt and pepper in a blender and turn the machine on; a creamy emulsion will form within 30 seconds.
- Taste and add more citrus juice a teaspoon at a time until that balance tastes right to you.
- Drizzle vinaigrette over rice.
- Using 2 big forks to combine, fluffing rice and tossing gently to seperate grains.
- Stir in citrus flesh, onion and mint; taste and adjust the seasoning or moisten with a little more dressing.
- Serve, sprinkled with Parmesan and chopped nuts, at room temperature or refrigerate for up to a day, bringing salad back to room temperature before serving.
