How To Make almond & apple wild rice salad

  • 1
    Cook the wild rice according to package directions. Transfer to a large bowl; cool completely.
  • 2
    While rice is cooking, toss apples with 2 Tbsp. orange juice in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the remaining orange juice, oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Tip: the orange juice will prevent the apples from turning brown.
  • 3
    Add the apples and celery to rice. Drizzle with the orange juice dressing; toss to combine. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled. Sprinkle with almonds and other toppings, if desired.
