Ingredients
Citrus and Wild Rice Salad
- 1 cup wild rice blend uncooked
- 1 navel orange peeled and segmented
- 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
- 2 mandarin orange peeled and segmented
- 1/2 cup celery diced
- 2 green onion sliced thin
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup almonds toasted, sliced
Citrus Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup citrus juice squeezed from the remains of the orange and grapefruit
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt fresh ground, to taste
- black pepper fresh ground, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the wild rice and cook according to package instructions. Once the rice is cooked let it cool to room temperature and then add it to a large serving bowl.
- Use a sharp knife to peel the citrus, removing all of the white pith. Cut between the membranes and add the citrus segments in with the rice. Add the celery, green onion, dried cranberries and almonds into the bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl or jar whisk or shake together all of the ingredients for the citrus vinaigrette. Pour half of the vinaigrette over the salad and stir everything together. Taste for seasoning and add additional vinaigrette if needed. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
- If you are making the salad ahead of time omit adding the almonds until right before serving so that they remain crunchy.
- Use any variety of citrus that you can find or prefer.
