Method
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice and cook until al dente.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the condiments. Dice the Emmental cheese and cooked ham. Place them in a large bowl.
- Add canned corn, capers in vinegar, mixed olives (green and black), and giardiniera to the bowl. If you plan to eat the salad immediately, also add diced mozzarella.
- Once the rice is cooked, drain it and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well.
- Add the drained rice to the bowl with the condiments. Mix thoroughly.
- Season with a pinch of salt (since the ingredients are already salty) and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix again.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Refrigerate until cold, or serve immediately.
