- 2 cups cooked wild rice I cook mine in chicken bone broth. Or use veg broth- according to your preferences
- 1 ripe peach- cut into cubes
- 1 bulb of fennel- thinly sliced
- 1 cup packed baby arugula
- 2 cloves garlic- minced
- ½ cup raw walnuts pistachios are great too
- ½ lemon juiced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh mint- minced
- Freshly ground pepper
Make the rice according to the package instructions. I used bone broth for mine instead of water. Once the rice is done cooking, allow it to come to room temperature before placing it in the fridge to chill completely.
Prep all of the remaining ingredients. Place everything in a medium mixing bowl and toss gently with the chilled rice. Taste and add salt as needed, I didn’t feel like mine needed any. Serve with a simple side salad and the protein of your choice.
