WILD RICE SALAD

Easy to make and tastes wonderful. You can use either turkey or chicken. You can serve it plain, on salad greens, or in a pita. Very versatile. If in season, try substituting black cherries for the grapes.

TURKEY AND WILD RICE SALAD



Turkey and Wild Rice Salad image

I often make a wild rice salad for Thanksgiving; with leftover turkey, it lasts for several days afterward. It's one of my favorite post-Thanksgiving meals. If you have other vegetables on hand, add them to the salad, too.

3 1/2 cups turkey or chicken stock, or water
Salt

2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
6 mushrooms, thinly sliced

1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or champagne vinegar
Salt

When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes until the rice is tender and has begun to splay. Taste the rice to make sure it's tender; if so, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients, except the pomegranate seeds.

PIQUANT TURKEY-WILD RICE SALAD (NO MAYO)



Piquant Turkey-Wild Rice Salad (No Mayo) image

Here's a healthy recipe for turkey salad. I like it because the sodium content is fairly low. If you, too, are trying to reduce sodium, be sure to read the label on the mustard as there is considerable variability in sodium levels between brands. I admit that I prefer a mixture of breast meat and dark meat, but stick to breast meat if you want the lowest fat content. Sometimes I substitute raw snow peas, trimmed and halved, or cooked frozen peas for the beans (snow peas add crunch). Use a good quality balsamic vinegar and olive oil. You can use left-overs for the grains. Preparation time does not include the time it takes to cook the grains which can be up to 3/4 hour.
