Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups wild rice
Salt
4 blood oranges, or navel oranges
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 scallions, cut into 1/8-inch rounds
1 cup dried cranberries
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Cook wild rice in a large pot of salted boiling water until just tender, about 40 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  • Meanwhile, cut away peel and pith from oranges; holding oranges over a bowl to catch the juice, remove segments from white membrane; place segments in the bowl.
  • Combine vinegars, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper in a bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine rice, scallions, dried cranberries, parsley, and orange sections and their juice. Drizzle vinaigrette over the salad, gently toss, season, and serve.
