Since I spend part of my summers in northern Minnesota near the wild rice fields. I have tried many recipes featuring this delicious, nutty-flavored grain in the past 46 years. This salad is often requested by family and friends! —Florence Jacoby, Granite Falls, Minnesota Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked wild rice |
seasoned salt, optional |
2 cups diced cooked chicken |
1-1/2 cups halved green grapes |
1 cup sliced water chestnuts, drained |
3/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise |
1 cup cashews, optional |
lettuce leaves |
Directions:
1. Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt or substituting seasoned salt if desired. Drain well; cool to room temperature. Spoon into a large bowl; add chicken, grapes, water chestnuts and mayonnaise. Toss gently with a fork. Cover and chill.
2. Just before serving, add cashews if desired. Serve on lettuce leaves or line a bowl with lettuce leaves and fill with salad. Yield: 6 servings.
