CRANBERRY WILD RICE SALAD

Cranberry Wild Rice Salad image

I first tried this recipe at a luncheon during a holiday home tour. Since cranberries grow well in this area, I love to use the dried variety to give recipes like this hearty salad color and tang. It's a thrill to make it for visitors. -Lyn Graebert, Park Falls, Wisconsin
