Fall-Inspired Flavor
Much like Thanksgiving dinner, a majority of autumn dishes are full of soothing, warm flavors. This Harvest Rice has warm, comforting ingredients in abundance! Think of it as a homey, Thanksgiving-like lunch all in one rice dish.
In this rice salad, we bring together sweet and savory flavors with typical, fall-inspired ingredients, including dried cranberries and chopped pecans. We then dress everything lightly with vinaigrette to go perfectly on top of a bed of greens.
Whether you’re a fan of a hearty rice salad or you love autumn-style flavors, this recipe is bound to make you a believer in one thing — the power of wild rice. This nutty, earthy seed can genuinely boost the characteristics of any dish. Our Minute® Ready to Serve Brown & Wild Rice combines this aquatic seed (it’s not actually a grain) with our fluffy brown rice.
This fast and easy combo is a convenient ingredient to add to this salad. Ready in 1 minute, our brown and wild rice is perfect for those who want to add depth to their recipes without spending hours over the stove.
