Wild Rice Salad with Lemon Ginger Dressing

Due to an ankle injury I haven't been on my feet much lately, which means I haven't been in the kitchen much.

I thought I would chance it today because I know my brother Mike has been waiting for this recipe.

I'm glad I spent the time in the kitchen today. I've really missed it. However, as I was finishing up my ankle was letting me know that it wasn't happy. Looks like I'll be on the couch again tomorrow :(




Wild Rice Salad with Lemon Ginger Dressing

Wild Rice Salad:

3 large Garlic Cloves (minced)
1 bunch of Asparagus (cut into 3rds)
2-3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
10oz bag of Baby Bella Mushrooms
2 cups Wild Rice
1 cup Brown Rice


Lemon Ginger Dressing:

Juice of 3 Lemons
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 tsp ground Ginger
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Dash of Salt (or to taste)

Saute garlic, mushrooms and asparagus in extra virgin olive oil. When cooked, stir in wild rice and brown rice. In a separate bowl stir ingredients for dressing together. Add to wild rice salad.

This Salad can be served hot or cold. I like to eat the leftovers cold on top of a spinach salad.

Enjoy!!
