Ww Caprese Rice Salad

"WW used jasmine rice, which gives a slightly "flowery" flavour to this Italian-inspired dish. But it can be made with other exotic varieties of rice as well, such as basmati. 4 pts per serving, from weight watchers."

  1. I enjoyed this, although the basil was a little overpowering. The taste was good so i think i just wouldnt use as much basil. I was the only one who ate this but if i were to make it for hubby or anyone else i think i would add sliced black olives and maybe only use the basil to garnish with.. thank you for sharing!
