Avocado & Wild Rice Salad image

This salad has a very different taste and looks lovely on a luncheon table. I usually prepare the rice the night before so it is ready to prepare in the morning, by lunch the salad is ready to serve. I use Rice a Roni Wild Rice Pilaf mix for this recipe most often, but you may use the wild rice mix of your choice. Adapted from a recipe found in Quick Cooking.

This wild rice salad is a great make-ahead option for busy weeknights. I usually prep all the ingredients in advance and then just toss them together when I'm ready to eat. It's a lifesaver when I don't have a lot of time to cook.

This wild rice salad turned out fantastic! I made a few minor changes to the recipe to suit my taste preferences. I used brown rice instead of wild rice and added a bit more mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to the dressing. The result was a creamy, tangy
