Harvest Wild Rice Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 cup wild rice or mixed rice
• 3 small stalks celery
• 3 oranges (navel if possible)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/3 cup walnuts
• 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
• White wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Cook the rice according to the package directions (we used mixed rice, which we boiled with 2 cups water and then simmered for 30 minutes).
2. Meanwhile, slice the celery. Chop the walnuts. With two of the oranges, remove the peel, section, and chop. Remove the seeds from the pomegranate.
3. Juice the other orange. In a small bowl, mix with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
4. When the rice is cooked, fluff it and let it cool for several minutes. In a medium bowl, mix with celery, oranges and dressing.
5. Add a few splashes of white wine vinegar to taste, and season with salt and pepper. Top with pomegranate seeds and walnuts to serve.
