Wild Rice
Nutty, chewy and hearty, wild rice is my secret for turning a simple salad into a satisfying meal. Toss it with juicy peaches, crisp cucumbers, fresh basil and chicken for a refreshing Cucumber Peach Salad, or with grilled plums, goat cheese and purple basil in a smoky Grilled Radicchio Plum Salad. For an easy lunch, pile it onto an Arugula and Fennel Salad with Chicken and Wild Rice topped with Parmesan.
