We cut the grass on our farm only once a year. That's because we want our aquatic grass to produce nutty, tasty grains of wild rice. I look forward to my wife, Marian, making this salad.-Art Hedstrom, St. Paul, Minnesota

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It was just as good!
