Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup long-grain wild rice (6 ounces)
Kosher salt
2 navel oranges
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
1/2 cup seedless green grapes, cut in half
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons scallions, white and green parts, chopped
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. It tastes even better the next day!

I love the texture of this salad. The wild rice is chewy, the cranberries are tart, and the walnuts add a nice crunch.

This salad is so easy to make! I just cooked the wild rice according to the package directions, then mixed in the other ingredients.

The flavors in this salad are amazing! The wild rice has a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet cranberries and crunchy walnuts.

This wild rice salad was a hit at my last potluck! I added some grilled chicken and avocado, and it was perfect for a summer party.
