Three Guys From Miami: Cuban and Spanish Food Recipes

Glenn: Potato salad may be the most popular salad for American backyard barbecues and picnics, but Cubans have a nice alternative.

Raúl: We make a delicious salad with our own favorite starch -- rice of course.

Jorge: This recipe is great because you make it the day before when you are still feeling ambitious and serve it the next day when all you want to do is take it easy.
