Curried Smoked Chicken and Wild Rice Salad image

Categories     Salad     Chicken     Leafy Green     Rice     Mango     Curry     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the dressing
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
3 tablespoons bottled mango chutney
2/3 cup olive oil
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh coriander
For the wild rice mixture
2 1/2 cups wild rice, rinsed
6 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch of scallions including the green part, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 cup golden raisins
6 whole smoked boneless chicken breast
3 cups mâche (lamb's-lettuce), washed well and spun dry

Steps:

  • Make the dressing:
  • In a blender or food processor blend the garlic, the vinegar, the lemon juice, the curry powder, the chutney, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth. With the motor running add the oil in a stream, add the sour cream and the water, adding additional water if necessary to reach the desired consistency, and blend the dressing until it is combined well. Transfer the dressing to a small bowl and stir in the coriander. The dressing may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • Make the wild rice mixture:
  • In a large heavy saucepan combine the wild rice with the water and the salt and simmer it, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes, until it is tender and all the water is absorbed. Transfer the wild rice to a large bowl and add the vinegar, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss the mixture well and let it cool completely. The wild rice mixture may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Stir in the scallions and the raisins.
  • Cut the chicken into 3/4-inch pieces. Spoon the wild rice mixture onto one side of a large shallow serving dish, arrange the chicken on the other half, and arrange the mâche decoratively down the middle. Serve the dressing separately. (Alternatively, the wild rice mixture, the chicken, and the dressing may be tossed together in a large serving bowl and garnish with the mâche.)

Wild Rice Salad With Celery and Walnuts image

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 quart water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 cup wild rice, rinsed
Salt to taste
1/3 cup lightly toasted broken walnut pieces
3 celery stalks, preferably from the heart, thinly sliced on the diagonal (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

3 tablespoons walnut oil
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons buttermilk or plain low-fat yogurt

Tips:

  • Cook the wild rice to perfection: Use a ratio of 1 cup wild rice to 2 cups water or broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid. You can also use a rice cooker to cook the wild rice.
  • Make the curry dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Just whisk it well before using.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will add the most flavor to the salad. If you can't find fresh vegetables, you can use frozen or canned vegetables in a pinch.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served fresh. The wild rice will start to lose its texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Wild rice salad with curry dressing is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're a fan of wild rice or not, you're sure to enjoy this salad.
