Nutty Wild Rice Salad
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 1 hour + chilling
YIELD: 4 servings.
Wild rice is sensational in this chilled salad. The toasted almonds complement the nuttiness of the rice, while red wine vinegar and soy sauce make a tangy dressing. I'll often serve the salad in lettuce cups, and sometimes I'll add diced ham and asparagus to turn it into a main-dish salad.
