Ingredients
For The Rice Salad:
- 1 cup wild rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1 large carrot peeled and shredded
- 1 stalk celery cut into 1/4" dice (reserve celery leaves for garnish)
- ½ cup dried apricots cut into 1/4" dice
- 3 scallions sliced
- ⅓ cup dry roasted peanuts chopped
For The Asian Dressing:
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey (substitute agave for vegan)
Instructions
- Add the rice, water and orange juice to a medium saucepan and heat over high heat. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 45-60 minutes or until rice is tender. Transfer rice to a mesh strainer and drain excess liquid. Set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ginger, garlic, olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and honey. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the carrot, celery, apricots and scallions. Add the rice and peanuts and toss to blend. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing and taste for seasoning. If salad needs more seasoning or seems dry add dressing one tablespoon at a time. Chop the reserved celery leaves (about 1 tablespoon) and sprinkle on top of the salad.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
