WILD RICE SALAD
Steps:
- Place the wild rice in a medium pot with 4 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes, until the rice is very tender. Drain well and place the rice back in the pot. Cover and allow to steam for 10 minutes.
- While the rice is still warm, place it in a mixing bowl. Peel the oranges with a sharp knife, removing all the white pith. Cut between the membranes and add the orange sections to the bowl with the rice. Add the olive oil, orange juice, raspberry vinegar, grapes, pecans, cranberries, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Allow to sit for 30 minutes for the flavors to blend. Taste for seasonings and serve at room temperature.

Steps:
- Bring the wild rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender but not mushy, 20 to 45 minutes depending on the variety of wild rice. Drain off any excess liquid, fluff the rice with a fork, and cook uncovered 5 minutes more. Scrape into a mixing bowl, and refrigerate until cold.
- Whisk the vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, garlic, dried tarragon, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small mixing bowl until smooth. Pour the safflower oil into the dressing in a thin, steady stream while whisking vigorously until the oil has been fully incorporated into the dressing; set aside. Stir the chicken, celery, parsley, and green onion into the cooled wild rice. Stir in the dressing until evenly blended. Cover the rice mixture, and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.
- Bring a small saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the sugar snap peas, and cook uncovered until just tender, about 30 seconds. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the peas are cold, drain and cut into 1-inch diagonal pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir the peas and toasted almonds into the rice mixture just before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of wild rice. Long-grain wild rice is the most common type, and it has a nutty flavor and chewy texture. Short-grain wild rice is less common, but it has a more delicate flavor and texture.
- Cook the wild rice according to the package directions. Wild rice takes longer to cook than white or brown rice, so be sure to allow enough time.
- Prepare the raspberry vinaigrette in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed.
- Add some chopped nuts or seeds to the salad for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
Wild rice chicken salad with raspberry vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salad sweet, savory, or tangy, this recipe has something for everyone. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting salad recipe, give this one a try!
