Oriental Chicken White N Wild Rice Salad Recipes

WILD RICE CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions. Drain and cool to room temperature. Add rest of ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and chill a couple hours before serving (overnight is fine).
• Tips: I have been using the Uncle Ben's 90 second microwave pouch for the rice part. I use the long grain and wild rice mix.
• I also think it tastes better with canned chicken.
