WILD RICE & ORZO CRANBERRY SALAD
Steps:
- Bring chicken stock for rice to boil and add wild rice simmer for 55 minutes covered. In separate saucepan, add cranberries and wine, bring up to boil and continue cooking on medium-low for 5 minutes and put in a bowl to cool. Next, bring water to boil for orzo, add orzo and cook pasta for 9 minutes. Note when done you won't need to drain orzo as it should absorb most of the liquid and you may need to add a bit more. You will likely have time to chop other ingredients while rice finishes. When rice done, put in a large bowl with orzo and combine well. Add celery, onion, parsley, pecans, and cranberries and mix well again. Add dressing and mix well again and chill.
CRANBERRY ORZO SALAD
This is an wonderful salad for a potluck or picnic. It is gorgeous to look at and delicious to taste. It is very forgiving, add or adjust ingredients or seasonings as you desire. You might want to add a tad more vinegar depending on how tart you like your salads. I adapted this salad from a cous cous recipe from Silvia Lehrer/and Charlie from another site. You could add some cooked shrimp to this salad to make it a little more substantial.
