Ingredients
For the wild rice:
- ¾ cup wild rice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
For the roasted root vegetables:
- 2 ½ pounds assorted root vegetables peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Cumin-Tahini Dressing:
- ¼ cup Tahini
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt to taste
For serving:
- Arugula or chopped kale
- Chopped walnuts or pepitas optional
- pomegranate arils optional
Instructions
To make the wild rice:
- Combine the wild rice with 3 cups of water in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. After 40 minutes, check to see if the wild rice is tender—because it's being used in a salad, you want it tender, but still maintaining its shape and some firmness.
- Drain the rice, then stir in the vinegar and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
To make the roasted root vegetables:
- While the rice is cooking, preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the root vegetables on the baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the vegetables for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes or so, or until tender and beginning to brown on the edges.
To make the dressing:
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth, adding more water if needed.
To serve:
- Divide the wild rice and root vegetables into 4 bowls. Add the greens, dressing, and walnuts or pepitas and pomegranate arils, if using. Serve immediately.
