Ingredients:
1/2 pound wild rice (about 1 1/2 cups), rinsed |
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch dice |
2 small vine-ripened tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice |
1/2 carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice |
1/2 red onion, chopped fine |
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice |
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice |
1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice |
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted until golden |
1/2 cup raisins |
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan bring 5 cups salted water to a boil. Add wild rice and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain wild rice and transfer to a bowl to cool. (Chill wild rice, covered, until cold, about 2 hours.)
2. In a large bowl combine vegetables, almonds, and raisins and toss with wild rice.
3. In a bowl whisk together vinegar, oil, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste until combined well. Pour dressing over salad and toss well. (Salad may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.)
