Hey, Nice blog post. I was struck in your blog especially the first line "Eating healthy does not always mean feeding on the same old-fashioned salad and boiled vegetables." Because I always do that and end up feeling like punishing my taste buds because it is not satisfied.
Thanks for the wonderful post.
Great recipe...I've never taste wild rice so I was surprised with great taste..Other ingredients was great also.
What a great and nutritious salad! It seems the two go hand and hand. Lovely!
