Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice
- 4 cups water or broth
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup edamame beans
- 1 head of broccoli
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3-4 tbsp olive or avocado oil
Instructions
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- For a more rounded meal, add in some fruit on the side and your bento box is good to go!
