How to make Wild Rice Salad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe has 4 steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cook Wild rice.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have cooked wild rice in my Instant Pot. Cooking Wild Rice in Instant Pot is so easy and takes very less time than stove top method. For the salad, Wild Rice to water ration<\/strong> in Instant Pot is 1:3 and cooking time is 30 minutes under high pressure followed by Natural release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer to finish all my other steps while the rice is cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The second step is to Make a Dressing.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making homemade salad dressings<\/strong> is easy, quick and 100% better than store bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its citrus season in Arizona. So, My fruit basket is filled with oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. Orange Juice makes a great base for salad dressings. One of my favorite way to use citrus in cooking is making salad dressing with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I made simple and easy Wild Rice salad dressing – Orange Vinaigrette<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love Orange Vinaigrette. The base of this salad dressing is Orange Juice. It’s naturally sweet so you need a very little amount of additional sweetener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this Orange Vinaigrette, Other than Orange juice, I have used Shallots, garlic, orange zest, balsamic vinegar, salt, vegan mayo, pepper powder, extra virgin olive oil, and Honey or agave.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. The third step is, Chopping Veggies and gather other ingredients.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have used Kale as a green and some grated carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For kale, Remove the leafy parts from the stems and chop finely. Because Kale is tougher than the most greens, so chopping it finely is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For carrots, I have used grated carrots. You can also chop into small pieces and use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other ingredients needed in this wild rice salad is Pecans and Cranberries. They give very crunch in every bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The last step is to Mix everything together. And its done!<\/h3>\n\n\n

The beauty of this salad is, It can be made ahead of time. To make this salad in advance, you’ll want to cook the wild rice beforehand. You can also chop the veggies and whisk the dressing ahead of time and keep it in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can store all these in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe can easily be doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do give this Salad recipe a try. Seriously, it’s so delicious with incredible flavors and textures.<\/p>\n\n\n
