Steps:
- Put rice in a bowl and rinse under running water for 2 minutes, then drain.
- Pour rice into a large saucepan, add the water and salt, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 minutes or until rice is just tender and al dente (how long to simmer, exactly, depends on your wild rice; the water will probably not be all absorbed).
- Drain and place in a large bowl, then add the prepared apple, red bell pepper, currants (raisins can be substituted, but will be sweeter and salad won't taste the same - currants are preferred), pecans, and onion; stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the balsamic, oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and stir well.
- Serve immediately or chill up to 4 hours (I prefer it chilled for at least an hour, then tossed again before serving).
- Note: also good with 1/4 cup dried cranberries.

Add rice, cover and reduce heat to low (dial should be just above lowest LOW setting). Simmer 45-60 minutes or until rice is tender and almost all of the liquid has been absorbed, checking rice for doneness at 45 minutes. Once cooked, drain rice and leave in fine hole strainer. To the now empty pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Increase heat to medium high and add onions and apples; saute for 5-7 minutes, or until onions and apples are tender. Add garlic and saute for 30 more seconds. Return rice to skillet along with cranberries, pecans and apple cider vinegar. Toss to evenly combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish as desired.
