Cranberry Wild Rice Salad
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. + chilling
YIELD: 12 servings.
I first tried this recipe at a luncheon during a holiday home tour. Since cranberries grow well in this area, I love to use the dried variety to give recipes like this hearty salad color and tang. It's a thrill to make it for visitors.
