How to cook deliciously - Wild Rice Salad

1. Stage

Cook the rice: Put the chicken broth in a medium sized saucepan. Add the wild rice and bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover. Let cook for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, sprinkle in the basmati or long grain rice. Return to a boil, and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the rice is cooked through. (If there is still liquid in the pot, uncover the pot and boil it off.) Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Spread the rice out on a large sheet pan to cool quickly.

2. Stage

Toast the pine nuts: Heat a small skillet on medium high heat. Add the pine nuts. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted. Remove pine nuts from pan and let cool.

4. Stage

Toss rice with salad ingredients and dressing: In a large bowl gently mix together the cooled cooked rice, chopped celery, green onions, peas, dried cranberries, pine nuts, and dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Chill completely before serving.
