Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup sun-dried cherries or cranberries
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 cup raw wild rice
3 cups chicken stock or water
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the cherries or cranberries in a bowl, pour the wine over them and set aside to soak 2 to 3 hours.
  • Put the rice and stock in a saucepan, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook about 45 minutes, until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  • Drain the rice well and put it in a bowl. Drain the cherries and add them to the rice, along with the scallions and walnuts.
  • Beat the vinegar and mustard together, beat in the oil, pour the dressing over the rice and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning or a more flavorful dressing.

This salad was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made dressing, but I'm sure it would be even better with homemade.

This wild rice salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of flavors and textures was amazing. I especially loved the tartness of the sun-dried cherries and the crunch of the walnuts.
