What is this Italian dish?

Insalata di riso, or rice salad, is a popular Italian dish especially enjoyed during the summer months. It typically consists of cooked rice mixed with a variety of ingredients such as diced vegetables (like bell peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes), cooked peas, corn kernels, and sometimes tuna or boiled eggs. The ingredients are combined and dressed with a light vinaigrette made from olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Additional herbs like parsley or basil may also be added for freshness and flavor. Insalata di riso is served chilled, making it a refreshing and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a light main course during warm weather.
