Wild Rice And Pear Salad With Pecans

wild rice salad served in endive boat

Wild rice isn't rice at all actually – it's a type of water grass. It look like thin seeds, and the seeds split the binds of their pods when boiled. As with all grains, make sure to wash them thoroughly before cooking.

The toasted pecans pair well with the nuttiness of the rice, and the d'anjou pear adds sweetness and color. As with any salad, this dish needs some acid. We're adding some orange juice to this to play off the sweetness of the pears.

When it comes to the herbs for this recipe, though, it's completely up to you. We give you ideas and then you make them your own. You don't even have to give us credit! Try some basil, chervil, or cilantro – or all three – and let us know what tastes best to you!
