Wild Rice Salad
This is a recipe for wild rice salad with oriental vinaigrette. I am not sure where it came from or if it is even 'Chinese' but it is good so I included it here.The basic ingredient for wild rice salad is...wild rice - you guessed it! Wild rice is more expensive than brown or white rice but has a distinctive nutty flavor. This recipe calls for 3 cups cooked wild rice which is prepared by boiling 2.5 cups water with 1 t salt and adding in 1 cup dried wild rice. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 50 minutes. Let cool.
In my recipes I use the following abbreviations: - 't' refers to teaspoon
- 'T' refers to tablespoon
- 'c' means cup
- '#' means pound
- 'oz' means ounce
