Ingredients

Dijon Vinaigrette

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Salad

  • 3 cups cold cooked wild rice
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup 1-inch pieces snap pea pods
  • 3 medium green onions, sliced (3 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup cashews

Steps

  • 1
    In food processor, cover and process all vinaigrette ingredients until smooth.
  • 2
    In large bowl, toss vinaigrette and all salad ingredients except cashews until coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours to blend flavors but no longer than 24 hours.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you can't find plain rice vinegar, use seasoned rice vinegar and omit the salt and sugar.
  • tip 2
    Use cooked wild rice available in cans instead of cooking regular wild rice. A 15-ounce can contains about 2 cups of wild rice.
