Ingredients

For the salad:
1 quart water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 cup wild rice, rinsed
Salt to taste
1/3 cup lightly toasted broken walnut pieces
3 celery stalks, preferably from the heart, thinly sliced on the diagonal (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage (2 good-size leaves) (optional)
For the dressing:
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, or sherry vinegar
1 small garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons walnut oil
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons buttermilk or plain low-fat yogurt

Steps:

1. Bring the water or stock to a boil in a large saucepan, add salt to taste and the wild rice. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and splayed. Drain and toss in a large bowl with the remaining salad ingredients. 2. Mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk in the walnut oil, olive oil, and buttermilk or yogurt. Toss with the wild rice mixture. Taste and adjust seasonings, and serve.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I omitted it from the salad. It was still very good.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. It's also a good source of fiber and protein.

I'm allergic to walnuts, so I used pecans instead. The salad was still delicious!

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it the night before and let the flavors meld overnight.

I found the dressing to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or agave nectar.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover wild rice. I also like to add some chopped chicken or tofu for a more filling meal.

I'm not usually a fan of wild rice, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the celery and walnuts add a nice crunch.
