The red wine vinegar and wild rice was a great taste combination. I did not know if you meant 1-cup dry or cooked wild rice. So I cooked a 4-ounce box of rice, which after being cooked was 1 1/2 cups. I put everything together the night before but waited until it was time to serve to add the nuts. The raisins plumped up nicely since I made it the night before. Next time I want to make this using the dried cherries. Thank you Ducky, I will be taking this too many family gathering to come!!

My oh my oh my!! Ducky, thank you so much for suggesting this recipe for the funeral I was in charge of food for. I made a double recipe of this and it was the MOST popular dish by farrrr... it went so fast people were complaining to me that they didn't get any and had heard such great things about it! This was delicious to say the least. I will be making this over and over and over... I have already promised several people I would bring this to their homes the next time I come over. I cannot thank you enough for this awesome recipe, and for being kind enough to suggest it in response to my funeral recipe plea. This would not have been more perfect! Dianne

This was delicious! The grocery did not have wild rice so I used Forbidden Rice which is kind of purple - that made it really colorful!!! The texture and taste were similar so all was fine. Everyone asked for your recipe and I was happy to share it. This would be great for my gluten free friends instead of pasta salad - or a potluck. Thank you!
