Chicken Wild Rice Salad

This is one of my favorite recipes, loosely based on a recipe my mom uses to make this. My husband is not a big fan of cold salads, so I usually end up making this for parties since it makes such a large portion.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

You start by mixing together green onions, dried cranberries, cooked chicken breasts, and a green apple.

At the same time, blend together a sliced white onion, sugar, salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar and olive oil

 

While you're doing all this, cook two cups of wild rice according to package directions.

Mix all together and voila!

 

A delicious salad that's great to bring to get togethers or summer dinners. I don't have the photography skills to make it look beautiful, but trust me, it's delicious.
