Recipe Summary Black Bean And Wild Rice Salad
I love this cold salad as a light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish in the summer or fall. The orange and herb vinaigrette is really delicious! Dried cherries are a tasty substitution for the dried cranberries. And pecans work well if you don't have cashews.Ingredients | Rice Salad Recipes Cold
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (16 ounce) package cooked wild rice
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup roughly chopped cashews
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
