Instructions

  • Prepare the wild and long grain rice mix according to package directions. Set aside for now.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the celery, bell pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6-7 minutes, until vegetables start to get tender. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked wild rice mixture, the sauteed vegetables, the dried cranberries, and the slivered almonds.
