• 2 cups long-grain white rice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup diced country-style ham (1/4 lb. thick cut)
• 3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, salt, and 3 cups water.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Decrease to a simmer, cover, and cook until the liquid has evaporated and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand, still covered, for 10 minutes.
5. Fluff with a fork and let it cool, uncovered.
6. In a large salad bowl, toss the rice with the ham, peas, mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, onion, garlic, lemon juice, and hot sauce.
