For another wild rice recipe, this wild rice stuffing is perfect as a stuffing or side dish.
Wild rice: Nutty wild rice adds a satisfying bite. Baby arugula: Peppery arugula is crisp and nutritious. Spring mix can be substituted. Halved grapes: For a burst of sweetness. Toasted almonds: Chopped nuts provide a satisfying crunch. Goat cheese: Tangy and creamy, the goat’s cheese melds with the other flavors. If you don’t love goat cheese you could use crumbled feta cheese. Or try blue cheese for a stronger bite. Fresh herbs: Mint, dill, and basil add a bright, refreshing note. Lemon poppy seed dressing: Fact: a salad is only as good as the dressing you put on it. Fresh lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, sea salt, poppy seeds come together to dress this salad to perfection with a bright citrusy dressing with a tiny crunch.
Appearance: The first difference you’ll notice will be the appearance – its long, slender, needle-like grains are brown or black in color. Taste: Wild rice has a rich, nutty flavor. Texture: What sets it apart is its chewy texture, maintaining a firm consistency even after it’s cooked.
