Ingredients

  • 1 cup Wild Rice
  • 1/2 cups Pinto Beans, Cooked
  • 1/2 cups Cherry Tomatoes, Quartered
  • 1/2 cups Fresh Corn
  • 1/2 cups English Peas, Chopped
  • 1/4 cups Carrots, Chopped
  • 1/4 cups Cilantro Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
  • 1/2 whole Avocado, Chopped

Method

  • Sprout the wild rice or use cooked wild rice that you've chilled. Mix all of the above ingredients in a bowl, except for the avocado.
  • Dressing for the salad
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped or mashed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • Blend all of the dressing ingredients in a small food processor, if you have one, or use a whisk. Pour the dressing over the wild rice and veggies and mix to coat everything. Sprinkle the avocado over the top. You can serve it right away but I think it's better if you let it sit in your frig for at least 30 minutes.
  • This will serve 2 as a main coarse or 4 as a side dish.
