  • 1 4 oz package Wild Rice
  • 3/4 Granny Smith Apple

  • 2 Stalks Celery
  • 4 Green Onions
  • 1/2 cup Golden Raisins or Craisins

Method
 

  1. Cook your wild rice according to package instructions but only for 30 minutes. You don't want your rice to be mushy. Remove from the heat and drain through a strainer into a large bowl for your salad. While the rice is still hot pour 4 tbsps of the Hendrickson's Salad dressing over the rice and stir well. Let stand for 30-45 minutes stirring occasionally until the dressing has been absorbed and the rice has cooled. While the rice is cooling dice the apple, bell pepper, celery, green onion and pecans and add to the rice with the Craisins, stir well and add the last 2 tbs of the Hendrickson's to the mixture. Stir again and place in the fridge for a 2 hours.
