Wild thing you make my heart sing!
Wild Rice is the key to this healthy salad, just a few veggies, some pickled wild rice and no guilt, (well hardly any!) Best served warm with some extra protein if you like, shredded chicken, tofu or even haloumi fritters would be lovely, Pickled Wild Rice Salad
The veggie photos look like Spring!
I agree! For me pumpkin is a cooler weather food and I always love a salad with that, spinach and pine nuts too mmm…
Looks delicious! Fresh veggies make things taste so much better.
Thanks Leslie, I think it’s definitely one of the healthiest=tastiest dishes I’ve made recently!
I’ve never heard of pickling rice! I’m intrigued, especially as I’m chomping on a salad right now!
It’s similar to sushi rice when it’s made with some vinegar & mirin, just gives a subtle tang. As I like stronger flavours (or my palette does, lol) I premade the rice & soaked it with the brining solution. It’s more of a garnish for this dish too, like a nutty sprinkle…
You are adorable! I love the title
and wild rice, yum!
It’s just one of those quirks I have! I know, healthy & tasty!!!
That looks lovely, it’s ages since I’ve had wild rice but your photo makes me want some!
Maybe when it gets warmer, I figure it might be too cold in Scotland for salads just yet
It shouldn’t be, because May is often a good month here, but you’re absolutely right. It was hailing yesterday!
Sounds like the UK alright!!!
I’m afraid so. Bright sunshine this morning but that could all change in a jiffy.
