Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 Box Uncle Ben's Long Grain Wild Rice
2 tbsp Lemon juice
3 Chicken breasts (cooked and diced.)
4 Green onions (sliced thin)
1 Red pepper (diced)
1 cup Snow peas or sugar snap peas (cut in half)
2 Avocado (diced)
1 cup Pecans (chopped)
2 tbsp Garlic (minced)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Pepper
¼ tsp Sugar
⅓ cup Rice wine vinegar
⅓ cup Olive oil

Steps:

  • Prep: Begin by cooking the box of rice as per the boxed directions, use the seasoning packet if one is included. You want the rice cold to complete the salad, once it is finished cooking you can cool it down by placing it in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Next, prepare the chicken breasts by cooking and seasoning to your preference. You can also save time and energy by using a store bought rotisserie chicken. Chop or shred the chicken into bite size pieces and set aside until ready to use.
  • Then, wash and slice/dice the green onions, red pepper, peas, and avocado. Set aside.
  • Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, sugar, red wine vinegar, and olive oil and blend lightly. Refrigerate until ready to assemble salad.
  • Assemble: In a large bowl, combine the rice, chicken and all the chopped vegetables. Then pour the dressing over the top and stir to combine all together. Serve cold rice salad immediately and enjoy!

Aunt Kathy's Tortilla Soup image

This is now a favorite in my husband's family in Canada after my aunt sent it with me when I moved up from California. We make this with whatever broth is abundant. Garnish with Mexican cheese blend, sour cream, salsa, and sliced avocado. This soup is an especially tasty way to use up the turkey after holidays! It freezes well, too!

AUNT KATHY'S FRENCH POTATO SALAD



Aunt Kathy's French Potato Salad image

My Aunt Kathy is a great cook and this is her version of potato salad. No yellow mustard, eggs or pickle relish. Much more elegant option. She serves it at ladies luncheons and family gatherings. There is never any left. I am asked to bring this to most BBQ's. I added crisp bacon to it for a twist.
