If youre new to wild rice once youve wild riced it, you never go back.
Though the irony in all this wild rice talk is that it isnt actually a rice.
Heres an up close and personal of the star ingredient in this dish.
Its cooked like pasta, boiled in water.
But it tastes so much more exotic than normal rice.
Yes it costs more than ordinary rice.
It $4.70 for 150g/5 oz which is 1 cup which is the amount required to make this salad.
And its worth it, for a celebratory salad or a salad for a special occasion.
And yes, pomegranates are a splurge too.
Usually $3 to $4 each here in Australia.
For this Wild Rice Salad YES.
I saw a video recently where a store bought pack of pomegranate seeds were tossed into a salad.
Because part of the joy of indulging in pomegranate is the art of getting the seeds out.
You spank it with a wooden spoon.
It is childishly satisfying.
That step was edited out.
Apparently, spanking is a no-no term for use in a G-rated recipe magazine!
I made a deliberate choice to keep the dressing for this Wild Rice Salad very simple.
Its just a basic white wine vinaigrette though you could switch the vinegar for any other clear vinegar.

And its worth it, because this IS a special salad.
In both looks and flavour.
I see this on your Thanksgiving and Christmas table!
