Summer Wild Rice Salad

July 27, 2017 by Angela LeMoine 12 Comments

I’m obsessed with this Summer Wild Rice Salad. It is simple to throw together, full of great flavor and crunch from the fresh veggies. Its hearty and healthy… a perfect dish for these hot summer days.

I think like most people in the hot summer months, we are looking for eating lighter and easy meals. The local produce is in abundance and so amazing that its easy to throw this Summer Wild Rice Salad together and have great flavor with little effort! Really, nothing beats bright fresh salads that can be used as a side dish or easily turned into a meal with some grilled shrimp or chicken. 

This recipe is really flexible… aka I measured very loosely and you can really customize this with any veggie or bean you have on hand. I mixed 1 1/2  cups of cooked wild rice with swiss chard, cucumber, red onion and chick peas. The dressing I used here is one of my favorite store bought dressings… Brianna’s Champagne Vinaigrette.

    I never heard of a rice salad until I saw a recipe on Top Chef like 100 years ago. I have been eating them ever since and love this one to add to my rotation!!
