TURKEY AND WILD RICE SALAD
I often make a wild rice salad for Thanksgiving; with leftover turkey, it lasts for several days afterward. It's one of my favorite post-Thanksgiving meals. If you have other vegetables on hand, add them to the salad, too.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 3 1/2 cups of the stock or water to boil. Add salt to taste and the wild rice. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes until the rice is tender and has begun to splay. Taste the rice to make sure it's tender; if so, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients, except the pomegranate seeds.
- While the rice is cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt to taste, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the oils, taste and adjust seasonings. Toss with the warm rice and the remaining salad ingredients. Arrange the pomegranate seeds on top, and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Try to use organic produce whenever possible.
- Cook the rice perfectly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and ruin the salad.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and texture to your salad. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
- Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a good quality dressing that you enjoy the taste of.
- Serve the salad immediately: This is when it will be at its best. If you make the salad ahead of time, the vegetables will start to wilt and the dressing will lose its flavor.

This Asian-style Wild Rice and Chicken (or Turkey) Salad is a healthy and delicious salad that is easy to make. It is perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
