Ingredients
- 1/2 cup wild rice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 teaspoons Sherry or Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cubed cooked turkey (about 3/4 pound)
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 3 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup dried cherries
- 1/2 cup Fisher® Chef’s Naturals Sliced Almonds, toasted
Directions
- Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, add rice and ¼ tsp. salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and most grains are split open, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Drain well and cool.
- Combine remaining ingredients together in a medium bowl and stir in cooled rice until mixture is well blended. Serve cold or at room temperature.
- Tip: To toast almonds, place them in a dry skillet over medium high heat. Stir frequently until nuts are browned. Remove from skillet to stop cooking.
