Easy Paella Salad
A twist on a traditional Spanish comfort food makes a great summer make-ahead recipe. Perfect for entertaining as it makes enough for a crowd. And you can make it up to 8 hours ahead, giving you plenty of time for party prep. Swanson broth and saffron give the rice a deep, rich flavor while a touch of lemon at the end brightens the dish.
