Wild Rice Apple Salad
If you’re ever looking for a way to jazz up last night’s wild rice leftovers, this recipe is as satisfying as it is versitile. Rotate in your favorite dried or fresh fuit as the mood and season strikes, adding more or less honey depending on your fruit choices. Wild rice’s texture is always well complemented by chopped nuts, so if you have a walnut lover at home, don’t hesitate to sprinkle some on top just before serving!
