Curried Rice Salad

 I made Curried Rice Salad  and my daughter, who is a seasoned wiz in the kitchen gave it thumbs up. She liked it so much that I decided to share the recipe that I received from a friend, written with my modifications.

2 boxes of  wild rice mix   http://www.unclebens.com/

1 cup Ocean Spray Dried Cranberries www.oceanspray.com

1 red pepper, chopped 

1 box of frozen peas or half a bag – don’t thaw

1 bunch scallions, chopped or garden onion tops sliced

1 can whole cashews http://www.planters.com

Dressing:

I use half  the amount of the listed quantities and like the taste. 

½ cup honey

½ cup vegetable oil

½ cup rice vinegar, plain not seasoned http://www.edenfoods.com

2 Tablespoons curry powder http://www.vitacost.com

Cook rice according to package directions.  Let cool. 

In large bowl mix together red pepper, frozen peas, and scallions or onion tops. Add rice and mix together. Pour the dressing over mixture and stir.   Make at least two hours before serving.  Best served not right out of the fridge.  Before serving add desired amount of cashews.  If added before they loose their crunch.
