"Jacq wanted wild rice recipes so here is a great one! A beautiful, summery salad with a refreshing oriental twist. This was originally published in 'Bon Appetit.' It is actually simple to make and not labour intensive in spite of the cook time and prep time - a lot of that is waiting for things to cook or cool."

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
