My SIL made this for us one Christmas. Since then it has been a family favorite at any get together.

Wild rice just isn’t normal.
I bet the dressing would be great over couscous.

Yum! That looks good. I have a hard time finding wild rice that isn’t a box mix with tons of sodium. I have to look harder so I can try this.
Lisa, I found a box of it on the top shelf at Publix. They only have two different brands of plain wild rice. You could also find it at a health food store and would probably be cheaper. Did you know wild rice will stay fresh, if sealed, for two years. Brown rice goes rancid after six months.

If your friend Lisa lives near a Whole Foods or Trader Joes, she will find LOADS of wild rice in the bulk section.
I tell ya what… make some of this on September 17 and I’ll be there to celebrate my birthday with you and your family.
Don’t I wish!!
It looks and sounds great!

No, I did not know that. You are a wealth of information:)
That explains why I can’t find it I can’t see it in my go cart thingy. I’ll have to my tall girl to get it for me. I will try at the health food store too. I think I have a recipe for wild rice and barley somewhere too.

That looks delicious. I didn’t know brown rice goes bad - I’ve never bought enough at one time to last six months. Now I know not to.
