Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Rinse a cup of wild rice and place your cup of wild rice and 4 cups of liquid of choice into your first pot. Bring it to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer.
  2. In a second pot of water, on low to medium heat, cook your peas and edamame beans (broccoli if you want too or you can consume that raw).
  3. After 40 minutes, your rice should be cooked (some of the grains of rice would have burst opened) and you can add in your cranberries and peas. 
  4. For the dressing, mix together honey and avocado or olive oil. If you have a side container, you can place your dressing for the wild rice salad on the side or you can mix it together right away. 
  5. For a more rounded meal, add in some fruit on the side and your bento box is good to go!
