Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups wild rice
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 large shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 piece (4 inches) peeled fresh ginger, very thinly sliced into rounds
2 cups dried sour cherries
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, some coarsely chopped, some left whole

Steps:

  • Stir together rice, 6 cups water, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover, and simmer until rice is tender and beginning to burst, about 45 minutes. Drain.
  • Stir sugar, lemon juice, and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots, garlic, ginger, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in cherries and 1/2 cup water. Cook until cherries are plump, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar mixture.
  • Stir together cherry mixture and rice in a large dish. Cover; let stand at least 1 hour (or refrigerate overnight). Just before serving, stir in parsley.

This salad is so versatile. I've added grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and even fruit to it.

I've made this salad several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's also a great way to use up leftover wild rice.
