Rice Salad & Beef Bites 🥗 Summer Meal

☀️ This rice salad and beef bites combo has become one of my favorite meals for hot days! It’s refreshing, filling, packed with protein, and so easy to make. I love that it uses simple ingredients I usually already have at home, and it tastes even better when the rice is nice and cold. If I made it again, I might add some fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness. 🥗🥩
