Nutty Wild Rice Salad image

This recipe is from the Creme de Colorado Cookbook. It is a very easy salad to fix with an unusual flavor. I always have requests for the recipe when I take it to a potluck. The dressing and rice can be prepared ahead of time and combined with the final "fresh" ingredients added just before serving. It can be served in a bowl, or in individual "lettuce cups".

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup wild rice
2 cups beef bouillon
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced diagonally
4 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, cover rice with cold water to a depth of one inch above rice. Bring to a boil. Drain water from rice and add bouillon. Simmer covered, until liquid is absorbed, about 1 hour. You may have to uncover and raise heat a little to boil off excess liquid.
  • Combine all dressing ingredients and mix well.
  • While rice is warm, pour on dressing and mix well; let cool.
  • In medium bowl, combine rice with peas, celery and green onions. Mix well and refrigerate. When ready to serve, mix in some of the almonds and put remainder on top.
