1 1/2 c. packaged precooked rice
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. boiling water
1 1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. grated onion
2 tsp. prepared mustard
3 c. diced cooked ham
2 c. fresh or drained canned pineapple cubes
2 c. diced celery

Add rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to boiling water in saucepan. Mix just to moisten all rice. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Then uncover; cool to room temperature.

Combine mayonnaise, remaining salt, the pepper, lemon juice, onion, and mustard in a bowl. Mix well; then chill. In a separate bowl combine cooled rice, the ham, pineapple and celery. Chill.

Just before serving, combine mayonnaise and rice mixtures. Toss together lightly. Serve on crisp lettuce.

Makes 8 servings. I have made half of this recipe and it came out very well.
