I love this Apple-Wild Rice Salad for a light and tasty lunch. If I am serving wild rice for dinner, I always cook extra so that I can use it the following day to make this superb salad. This is a really fresh and fruity salad which combines the crunchy apple slices, raisins and grapes.
It’s super simple to make too. I start by tossing the apple slices with orange juice and vinegar. I then add the grapes, raisins, cilantro, oil, and pepper before stirring through the rice. I like to serve my salad with toasted chopped pecans sprinkled on top!
To make my version of Apple-Wild Rice Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
Follow the directions on the packet to cook the rice mix until it is tender. Drain and set to one side.
While the rice is cooking mix the apple slices with apple juice and vinegar in a large bowl.
Add the grapes, raisins, cilantro, oil, and pepper to the apple slices. Mix in the cooked rice once it cools.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours.
Serve garnished with optional chopped toasted pecan nuts.
This Apple-Wild Rice Salad is a great recipe when you need to use up leftover rice! Try it out soon and don’t forget to tag #CookMeRecipes in your social posts.
