Wild Rice Salad

Monday, October 1, 2012
Don't you love it when you stumble upon a really awesome, simple recipe??

I made this wild rice salad last week and it's hands down one of my favorite rice dishes I've had. It tasted like Asian Thanksgiving. There's a small amount of soy sauce and rice wine vinegar, but there's also toasted pecans and dried cranberries (I omitted the parsley, bleeeck!)

Check out the recipe below.
