Wild Rice Salad

Technically, wild rice is not rice but a seed. Like rice, however, it does not contain gluten. Wild rice is high in protein, the amino acid lysine, and dietary fiber. More good news: It’s also low in fat. Add this healthy grain to your diet with this easy, just-mix-everything recipe.


Serves 4 Prep Time 6 minutes Cooking Time 45 minutes (for the wild rice)

2 cups cooked wild rice
1/2 cup canned white beans
1/4 cup chopped olives
2 tablespoons chopped capers
1/2 cup shredded carrots
2 teaspoons chopped green onion
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
salt and pepper, optional

1 Mix all ingredients together and serve at room temperature.

2 Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Seasoning tip Be careful in seasoning this dish. Remember, olives and capers already pack a salty punch.
