Note

This dish is excellent for using up leftover cooked rice.

You can prepare this in advance. Mix all ingredients and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 or 3 days.

Feel free to substitute the apple with other fruits such as berries, peaches, or pears. Jam can also be used in place of honey or sugar for a different flavor profile.

For a warmer dish, you can briefly microwave the rice and fruit mixture before adding the yogurt, or simply serve it cold for a refreshing breakfast.
