For a vegan option, substitute the sour cream with a plant-based alternative and omit the bacon, or replace it with toasted sunflower seeds for added crunch. Feel free to customize the salad with other vegetables like diced cucumber, corn, or cherry tomatoes. Toasting the almonds enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the salad. Watch them closely while toasting to prevent burning. Make sure the brown rice is completely cool before mixing with the dressing to prevent the dressing from becoming runny.
