Summer Rice Salad
2 cups cooked wild rice 3/4 cup corn* 2 scallions, trimmed and sliced 2-4 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley 3 Tbsp. chopped walnuts 2 Tbsp. chopped red onion 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a large bowl, combine the wild rice, corn, scallions, parsley, nuts and onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and oil, then add it to the rice mixture. Toss to combine. Season it to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and let it stand for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
*Note: For the corn, cut the kernels off 1 ear of cooked corn, or use defrosted frozen, or drain and rinse canned corn. Yellow or white corn is equally good.
