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.
