Wild rice adds a nutty crunch and elegance to salads. This is a wonderful companion to squash dishes such as Stewed Spaghetti Squash, page 220. It’s also one of the first things I would consider packing for a fall hike or picnic. Look for long-grain and wild rice mix shelved near rice in well-stocked supermarkets.

Preparation
Step 1
Bring 4 cups water to a simmer in a saucepan. Stir in the rice mixture, cover, and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 35 minutes. If the rice isn’t done to your liking, add another 1/2 cup water and continue to simmer until absorbed. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool, uncovered, to room temperature.
Step 2
Combine the rice with the remaining ingredients in a serving container and toss well. Serve at once or cover and refrigerate until needed.
