Notes

You can use Quinoa or brown rice instead of wild rice, as it will cook faster, but I recommend using wild rice, it's unique and tastes really good.
You can make this salad ahead of time and pack it for lunch the next day.
This salad will keep well in the fridge sealed in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.
