Wild Rice & Mushroom Salad
"From Canadian Living's The Barbecue Collection cookbook, this is a great summer salad. I didn't have quite enough wild rice so added some brown rice to make up the difference and it turned out nicely. We enjoyed it with Lemon Chicken Kebobs, but I think it would go well with any grilled meat. A good make-ahead, take-along salad. Prep time does not include cooling time."

<p>I love cooking. It satisfies me in many ways. And, I really like Recipezaar. My daughter, who also enjoys cooking, introduced it to me and I use it often. I had a Premium membership for two years before Zaar became Food.com I continue to introduce it to more of my family and friends. Zaar brought together a great community of cooks and my hope is that Food.com carries on the great tradition. <br /> <br />Feeding people brings me joy. Whatever I make I always stir in lots of love.</p>
