Recipe Summary Chicken And Snap Pea Wild Rice Salad
I learned how to harvest wild rice last fall and enjoy recipes to use the nutritious grass. This is a filling, flavorful dish.
Ingredients | Chicken Breast Salad Recipes Healthy1 ½ cups uncooked wild rice6 cups water⅓ cup tarragon vinegar3 tablespoons Dijon mustard1 tablespoon white sugar1 teaspoon salt1 clove garlic, minced1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crumbled½ teaspoon black pepper½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes⅔ cup safflower oil3 cups cubed cooked chicken1 cup sliced celery½ cup chopped fresh parsley½ cup sliced green onion½ pound sugar snap peas, strings removed½ cup toasted slivered almondsDirectionsBring the wild rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender but not mushy, 20 to 45 minutes depending on the variety of wild rice. Drain off any excess liquid, fluff the rice with a fork, and cook uncovered 5 minutes more. Scrape into a mixing bowl, and refrigerate until cold.Whisk the vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, garlic, dried tarragon, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small mixing bowl until smooth. Pour the safflower oil into the dressing in a thin, steady stream while whisking vigorously until the oil has been fully incorporated into the dressing; set aside. Stir the chicken, celery, parsley, and green onion into the cooled wild rice. Stir in the dressing until evenly blended. Cover the rice mixture, and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.Bring a small saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the sugar snap peas, and cook uncovered until just tender, about 30 seconds. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the peas are cold, drain and cut into 1-inch diagonal pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir the peas and toasted almonds into the rice mixture just before serving.Info | Chicken Breast Salad Recipes Healthyprep:
