Fruited Wild Rice Salad

I created this salad recipe to feature wild rice, a delicious state crop, plus other harvest ingredients like apples and pecans. I make bushels of it each August when the small nearby village of Dorset (population 22) hosts several thousand visitors at the Taste of Dorset festival. -Larren Wood, Nevis, Minnesota

    Over the years, I have brought this salad to many pot lucks. People appreciate something a bit healthy to eat. Make this the day before to taste amazing. I usually leave out the pecans since lots of people don't eat nuts.
