Cook the rice according to the pack instructions. When cooked, rinse under cold water and drain well. Leave to stand in the sieve for any excess water to drain off. Alternatively, make this salad with leftover cooked rice.
Mix the rice, spring onions, peanuts, mayonnaise and yoghurt together. Add a little black pepper to taste.
Gently stir in the mandarin segments.
Serve on it's own or with leftover roast chicken.
