KAMUT AND WILD RICE SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Side     Healthy     Simmer

Yield 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup Kamut kernels
1/4 to 1/2 cup wild rice
1/4 cup roasted hazelnuts, chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons finely diced red pepper
1/4 cup dried cranberries, soaked in hot water for 1 minute and drained well
1 orange, cut into segments and diced
1 cup Edamame beans, cooked (optional)
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
grated zest of 1/2 orange
grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice or to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice or to taste
1 teaspoon red or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups water to boil. Salt water. Add Kamut and cook over low heat, partially covered, for 1 hour until tender but not mushy. Cook wild rice in 1 cup water, uncovered, until just tender but still with a bite. Drain and spread grains on baking sheet to cool. In a bowl, mix grains with nuts, peppers, orange pieces, cranberries and parsley. Make dressing: In separate bowl combine orange and lemon juices, zest, vinegar and oil. Toss salad with dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Kamut and wild rice are both good choices for this salad, as they have a nutty flavor and a chewy texture. If you can't find kamut, you can substitute brown rice or quinoa.
  • Cook the rice according to package directions. Be sure to rinse the rice before cooking to remove any debris.
  • Let the rice cool completely before assembling the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming mushy.
  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will give the salad the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good choice, but you can also try a creamy dressing or a tangy citrus dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. This salad is best served fresh, but it can be chilled for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This kamut and wild rice salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with nutrients and flavor, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try.
