Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice blend, soaked overnight
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ cup whole pecans
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 medium peach, thin wedges
  • 4 ounces blueberries (about ¾ cup)

Instructions

  • Fill a medium pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Drain and rinse rice. Add to boiling water with ½ tsp salt. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and boil for 25-30 minutes, until rice is tender but chewy.
  • Meanwhile, heat a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add pecans and toast for about 4 minutes, stirring frequently until lightly browned and fragrant. Coarsely chop.
  • Add olive oil, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon and remaining 1 tsp salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Drain and briefly rinse with cool water to remove excess starch. Transfer rice to a medium bowl and gently stir in dressing to coat. Season to taste. Add fruit and pecans and stir until combined.

Notes

Experiment with any combination of fresh summer fruit: cherries and sliced plums, raspberries and apricots, and so on.
