Wild Rice Salad

Looking for a great summer picnic salad to take to your next potluck? This wild rice salad is a winner!

It is a combo of wild rice and white rice, cooked in stock and tossed with celery, toasted pine nuts, peas, dried cranberries, and a sesame oil-infused vinaigrette.

The recipe makes a lot! It also holds up well to sitting around, so it’s a perfect salad to bring to a summer BBQ.
