TURKEY AND WILD RICE SALAD



Turkey and Wild Rice Salad image

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.

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.

Conclusion:

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. The salad is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this salad a try!
