Fennel Wild Rice Salad image

This is a salad I invented years ago when my sister's family had to go gluten-free. It has since become a family favorite, and Thanksgiving just isn't the same without our wild rice salad! -Aimee Day, Ferndale, Washington

I was disappointed with this salad. The flavors were bland and the dressing was too oily.

The salad was good, but I didn't love the combination of fennel and wild rice. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of grain, like quinoa.

This salad is delicious, but I found it to be a bit too salty. Next time, I will use less salt in the dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover wild rice. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

The citrus dressing really brightens up this salad. It's the perfect balance to the earthiness of the fennel and wild rice.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors of the fennel, wild rice, and citrus were perfectly balanced, and the pomegranate seeds added a nice pop of color and crunch.
