2 1/3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Use the amount of water for the rice according to instructions on the rice package.
2 ratio of rice to water.
3 of wild rice to water. For this brown rice wild rice mix that I got from a bin I used a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 2 1/3 cups of water.
Bring rice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and water to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 50 minutes. Do not stir. Do not uncover.
Remove from stove and let sit, covered for 10 minutes.
Then uncover, fluff up with a fork, and let cool to almost room temperature.
In a medium sized serving bowl, mix the rice, cranberries, pecans, and green onions together.
In a separate jar, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, orange peel, and salt and pepper to taste.
Just before serving, mix dressing in with the rice mixture. Serve warm, chilled, or room temperature.
