Wild Rice and Cranberry Salad

"The dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated for a couple of days. This would be great with grilled chicken or seafood. This is so good, I plan on having this one even when cranberries aren't in season! Prep time is not counting time to cook wild rice which can be done ahead."

  1. This tasted so strongly of vinegar that I just could not enjoy this; sorry.
     
  2. A delicious salad that is healthful and fresh-tasting! The orzo and wild rice go nicely together, and the peppers are tasty. I used half the ground pepper, and the salad still had a nice bite to it. I also didn't chop the cranberries, but the salad didn't have big chunks of cranberries (Not that there's anything wrong with that!). This would be a good salad to make for Thanksgiving. Thanks, Susan, for another first class recipe!
