Preparation

Preparation Steps

1. Cook the Wild Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine the wild rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.

2. Prepare the Vegetables

While the rice is cooking, chop the red bell pepper, carrot, celery stalks, and green onions into small pieces.

3. Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, chopped vegetables, dried cranberries, walnuts, and parsley.

4. Dress the Salad

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until well combined.

5. Chill and Serve

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
