wild rice salad with figs (bon appetit march 1996)
No Image
I love the flavours in this salad but I have to admit, I'm not a fan of wild rice. I tend to use brown rice or a mix of wild/brown. I also double the recipe (or triple) for potlucks. You can make all kinds of changes to this recipe. I use whatever nuts I have on hand, I love red onion so tend to use more. I also use more celery. I like to increase the veggie component.
