Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Consult the packaging on your wild rice for actual cooking directions, following the ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part orange juice. These directions match my rice. Add water and juice to a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add wild rice and let it return to a boil. Lower to just simmering and cover. Cook 60 minutes. Check at about 45 minutes and if the mix seems a little dry add a bit more water.
  2. Toast the pecans on an ungreased cookie sheet for 5-7 minutes in the oven at 375 degrees. Allow to cool and give them a coarse chop.
  3. Rinse and clean the baby spinach, removing stems. Cut into ribbons about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Once the rice is cooked allow it to cool a bit, about 20 minutes. You want it to lightly wilt the spinach but not actually cook it.
  5. Mix the spinach, cranberies, and pecans into the wild rice. If youa re serving that day, you can store on the counter. Otherwise, place in fridge until ready to serve.
  6. To prepare the dressing, whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.
  7. A half hour before serving, toss the salad and dressing together. Let stand so that the flavors can meld together.
