Ingredients
  • [q:2/3] cup Arborio* rice
  • [q:1/2] Tbsp canola oil
  • [q:1 1/2] cup frozen yellow corn, thawed
  • Garlic salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions
  1. Bring a medium stockpot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add rice and boil until tender yet firm to the bite, stirring a few times, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain in a colander. Rinse under cold running water to cool; drain well.

  3. In a large bowl, toss together rice and corn with remaining ingredients until thoroughly combines. Season with additional garlic salt and pepper, to taste.
