  2. In a saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.

  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded carrots, chopped cucumbers, diced bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onions.
  7. Add your choice of protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu) to the vegetable mixture.
  8. Gently fold in the chopped cilantro and mint, ensuring even distribution throughout the salad.
  9. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated.
  10. Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
  11. If using, sprinkle chopped peanuts or cashews on top for added crunch.
  12. Divide the salad into bowls for serving.
