Cranberry Wild Rice Salad image

I first tried this recipe at a luncheon during a holiday home tour. Since cranberries grow well in this area, I love to use the dried variety to give recipes like this hearty salad color and tang. It's a thrill to make it for visitors. -Lyn Graebert, Park Falls, Wisconsin

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less cranberries or adding some tart fruit, like grapefruit, to balance out the sweetness.
