Wild Rice & Orange Salad
Wild Rice & Orange Salad
This is a fresh and light salad which is also very nutritious. It works great as a healthy lunch and also pairs well as a side with BBQ meat or seafood; we served it with our grilled shrimp with garlicky tomato glaze. My husband categorized it as his favorite kind of dish “Nutrish & Delish” – the recipe was adapted from a recipe in the magazine Quick & Healthy 30 minute meals.
