Kayte picked this week’s theme for Eating with Ellie – Soup and Salad. Really, we could make one or the other or both. It’s still pretty warm in Louisiana these days so I went with salad.
This is a rice salad mixed with pistachios, orange slices, and basil. the dressing is made from red wine vinegar, mustard, orange juice, honey and EVOO.
I liked the mix of wild rice and brown rice with the nuts and fruit but I didn’t care much for the dressing. The rice mix added a nice ‘tooth feel’ to the salad. I will make it again – but with a different dressing.
I like that Ellie made me think, at least for me, outside of my regular salad ‘box’.
The recipe is from Ellie’s The Food You Crave (page 147) but is also on FoodTV.
There are more soups and/or salads at Eating With Ellie.
