Wild Rice and Cranberry Salad
This salad happens to be one of my all-time favorite salad recipes. Oddly enough, I started making this recipe way back when I was in college. Even then, I was an avid collector of recipes. This Wild Rice and Cranberry Salad recipe was part of that collection. I remember making it and bringing it to a party- a college potluck party. Most people brought chips and dip and store bought goodies. I brought Wild Rice and Cranberry Salad! It was a big hit back then. And it’s still a hit today. I love the addition of dried cranberries and raisins. Toasted pine nuts are wonderful in this too. And the apple cider vinaigrette has plenty of orange zest in it, which makes it pretty delicious. After assembling this Wild Rice and Cranberry Salad and tossing it with the dressing, it’s a good idea to let it marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator. This gives the rice a chance to soak up that tangy dressing. It’s so good!

Roasted Sweet Potato Rainbow Salad, Apple Brie Salad and Bacon and Brussels Sprouts Salad are delicious salad recipes too!
