Lemony Wild Rice Salad
A hearty, citrus-forward wild rice salad with tomatoes, scallions and herbs—portable for picnics, meal prep or meal drop-offs.
Whether you're planning a picnic, prepping a week of lunches or dropping off a meal for a friend in need, this hearty, citrus-forward wild rice salad is highly transportable and pairs well with everything from baked chicken to Spanish tortilla. Though the recipe is simple, the acidic dressing, juicy tomatoes and sturdy texture of the rice will keep everyone coming back for more. With a flavor profile akin to tabbouleh, this herb-filled salad soaks thinly sliced scallions in dressing to soften their bite, then mixes in the cooked rice. Make leftovers feel like new again by adding proteins like sliced steak or soft-boiled eggs and drizzling with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
