BROWN AND WILD RICE SALAD



Brown and Wild Rice Salad image

This wild rice salad, developed by the Light & Tasty Test Kitchen, is twice as nice since it stars both brown and wild rice! Tangy raspberry vinegar complements the nutty flavor of the rice, while dried cranberries provide unexpected bursts of sweetness.

WILD AND BROWN RICE SALAD



Wild and Brown Rice Salad image

Rice salads make nice gluten-free alternatives to pasta salads; like the latter, they can be served at room temperature or chilled. This fresh-flavored side uses three types of rice-wild, brown, and brown basmati-but any combination of rices would work well.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups water
1/2 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup long-grain brown rice
1/2 cup brown basmati rice, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 yellow bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 English cucumber, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices
6 ounces cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan; add the wild rice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Return to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine 1 1/4 cups water, the long-grain brown rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
  • In a third saucepan, bring remaining 3/4 cup water, the basmati rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper.
  • Fluff all the rice with a fork, then transfer to a serving bowl. Add bell pepper, onion, celery, cucumber, tomatoes, and cilantro. Add dressing, and toss well to combine. The rice salad can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead and refrigerated, covered tightly. Serve at room temperature.
