PIQUANT TURKEY-WILD RICE SALAD (NO MAYO)
Here's a healthy recipe for turkey salad. I like it because the sodium content is fairly low. If you, too, are trying to reduce sodium, be sure to read the label on the mustard as there is considerable variability in sodium levels between brands. I admit that I prefer a mixture of breast meat and dark meat, but stick to breast meat if you want the lowest fat content. Sometimes I substitute raw snow peas, trimmed and halved, or cooked frozen peas for the beans (snow peas add crunch). Use a good quality balsamic vinegar and olive oil. You can use left-overs for the grains. Preparation time does not include the time it takes to cook the grains which can be up to 3/4 hour.

TURKEY AND WILD RICE SALAD
I often make a wild rice salad for Thanksgiving; with leftover turkey, it lasts for several days afterward. It's one of my favorite post-Thanksgiving meals. If you have other vegetables on hand, add them to the salad, too.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 3 1/2 cups of the stock or water to boil. Add salt to taste and the wild rice. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes until the rice is tender and has begun to splay. Taste the rice to make sure it's tender; if so, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients, except the pomegranate seeds.
- While the rice is cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt to taste, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the oils, taste and adjust seasonings. Toss with the warm rice and the remaining salad ingredients. Arrange the pomegranate seeds on top, and serve.

Steps:
- In a serving bowl, mix cubed cheese, onion rings, diced salami, diced tomato & sliced gherkins.
- In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, Tabasco, pepper, olive oil & diced pineapple chunks. (I use a glass jar w/a tight lid & just shake to combine).
- Just b4 serving, toss salad in dressing & serve garnished w/chopped chives as desired.
- NOTE: To make ahead & avoid a mushy cheese effect, follow same prep except DO NOT include diced cheese in the mix of Step 1. Store the cheese ready to use in a sandwich bag or refrigerator container & combine w/salad ingredients at the same time the dressing is added just before serving.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use freshly cooked turkey and wild rice. If you don't have time to cook your own, you can use store-bought rotisserie turkey and microwaved wild rice.
- To save time, you can make the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just bring it to room temperature before serving.
- If you don't have any dried cranberries on hand, you can substitute raisins or dried cherries.
- This salad is also a great way to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
Conclusion:
This piquant turkey wild rice salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this recipe a try.
