Summer Rice Salad

2 cups cooked wild rice

2 Tbsp. Chopped red onion

1 Tbsp. Rice vinegar

1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil

3/4 cup corn*

2 scallions, trimmed and sliced

2-4 Tbsp. Finely chopped parsley

3 Tbsp. Chopped walnuts

Salt and freshly ground black pepper,

To taste

In a large bowl, combine the wild rice, corn, scallions, parsley, nuts and

onion.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and oil, then add it to the rice

Mixture. Toss to combine. Season it to taste with salt and pepper. Cover

And let it stand for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to

Develop.

*Note: For the corn, cut the kernels off 1 ear of cooked corn, or use

Defrosted frozen, or drain and rinse canned corn. Yellow or white corn is

Equally good.
