INSTRUCTIONS
The salad gets its name from Zizania aquatica, the Latin name for wild rice. Try with other rice varieties, like red basmati. Prepare the wild rice and set aside to cool a bit. Prepare the dressing. Mix warm rice with 2 tablespoons Orange-Herb Dressing. Set aside. Poach or otherwise cook the chicken. Set aside to cool a bit. Cube into bite sized pieces. Assemble the salad; toss with the remaining dressing. Serve chilled. To make about 3 cups of cooked wild rice: rinse 1 cup wild rice. Bring wild rice and 4 cups water to a boil over high heat. Stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 50 minutes or until kernels puff and open. Makes about 3 cups cooked rice. Printed in Riv Press-Enterprise 3 Oc 96. Pat H. McRecipe.
