Created in Louisiana, Cajun rice salad is a popular side dish in Cajun communities. This spicy salad-like recipe made with rice is bursting with Cajun flavors including the holy trinity of bell pepper, onion, and celery. Cajun cuisine took shape in the rural areas of Louisiana after French settlers intermingled with the native people and other ethnic groups in the region, eventually developing their own unique culinary style.
