Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
