A "wild" salad

I got this one from Karen Rakestraw....and I make vats of it on a very regular basis!!

Cook (Lundberg is my favorite brand) wild rice as directed on package....however many servings you need. Usually takes about 45-50 minutes, so prepare early.

Saute: whatever your favorite veggies are. My faves are broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms. Drizzle some balsamic vinaigrette dressing over the top while sauteing, a little white wine can also be added.
If you like tomatoes, toss in a few grape tomatoes at the end, cover, and let them steam on top of the other veggies...adds a nice zest to the combination.

On a plate, tear fresh spinach leaves. Drizzle with more balsamic if you like. Top with warm rice and sauted veggies.

Garnish with nuts and grated parmesan.

Sometimes I will add chicken sausage, sauted tofu or salmon to the mix.

Yum, my mouth is watering...hope you like it. Other than the rice, its a quick and easy meal!!
