Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 c uncooked wild rice
2 medium apples, chopped
2 Tbsp plus 1/2 cup orange juice
4 tsp olive oil
4 tsp red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
2 celery ribs, chopped
1/2 c unblanched almonds, coarsely chopped
optional toppings: halved green grapes, cubed cheddar cheese, and chopped red onion

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the wild rice according to package directions. Transfer to a large bowl; cool completely.
  • 2. While rice is cooking, toss apples with 2 Tbsp. orange juice in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the remaining orange juice, oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Tip: the orange juice will prevent the apples from turning brown.
  • 3. Add the apples and celery to rice. Drizzle with the orange juice dressing; toss to combine. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled. Sprinkle with almonds and other toppings, if desired.

I'm allergic to almonds. Can I substitute another nut, like walnuts or pecans?

This salad is a bit too crunchy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with softer almonds.

This salad is a bit bland. I think I'll try it again with more dressing.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less apples.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have a bag of wild rice in my freezer and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of wild rice, but I loved this salad! The almonds and apples really balance out the flavor of the rice. I'll definitely be making this again.
