You're in for a treat if you've never tasted wild rice from Minnesota! Wild rice is actually a cereal grain that's full of fiber and minerals. It's not only healthful, but delicious-especially when prepared in this dish. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
2/3 cup wild rice |
2 medium tart apples, chopped |
2 celery ribs, sliced |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
dressing: |
1/2 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt |
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring the water and rice to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes or until rice is tender. Fluff with a fork. Drain if necessary.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rice, apples, celery, brown sugar and lemon juice. Combine the dressing ingredients; pour over rice mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Yield: 6-8 servings.
