Embark on a culinary journey with our delectable Wild Rice Almondine, a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. This dish is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a visual delight, with its vibrant green wild rice and the golden-brown almonds adding a touch of elegance. The nutty flavor of the almonds complements the earthy notes of the wild rice, while the aromatic shallot and garlic add a savory depth. Accompanying this main course are three equally enticing recipes: a refreshing Cucumber Salad with a tangy dressing, a creamy and flavorful Avocado Dressing, and a classic Vinaigrette Dressing. These accompaniments provide a delightful contrast to the hearty wild rice, creating a well-rounded and satisfying meal.

ALMOND WILD RICE
Made with both brown rice and wild rice, this popular pilaf has a hint of fruity sweetness, thanks to golden raisins. I prepare the casserole the morning of the party, then refrigerate it in an ovenproof dish to heat through later. -Mark Trinklein, Racine, Wisconsin

WILD RICE ALMONDINE
This is a delicious wild rice recipe we tend to serve around the holiday season. It's a nice dish because after preparation you just set it in the oven for an hour or so, which leaves you more time to visit with your guests and/or do other things.
