Wild Rice Salad
2/3 cup wild rice, raw
1.5 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup long-grain (or brown) rice, raw
3/4 lb. turkey or chicken breast, cooked and diced
1/4 cup green onion, sliced
1/4 lb. fresh mushrooms, quartered (I didn’t have any mushrooms so I used a cucumber instead)
1 red pepper, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
1 cup fresh spinach, sliced (optional)
Dressing:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2.5 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil
1.5 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp dry mustard
Dash salt and pepper
Combine wild rice, broth, and water in a saucepan. Heat to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add long-grain rice. Continue to cook 25 minutes. Cool.
Add turkey (or chicken), onions, mushrooms, pepper, etc.
Set aside.
Combine dressing and rice mixture.
Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
