WILD RICE HAM SALAD

Wild Rice Ham Salad image

Wild rice is native to the Midwest, so this dish is popular in our area. We eat it cold or warm it up just enough to soften the cheese and blend the flavors a little more. Serve it as the main event or even as a side for chicken or turkey. -Kathi Saari, Ames, Iowa
