Ingredients

1/3 c. white wine vinegar (add more if you want a brighter flavor)

1 Tbs. agave nectar or honey

¼ tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. dry dillweed

½ tsp. each salt and pepper

2 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger

1/3 c. olive oil

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

Salad:

1 c. wild rice

1 ½ c. brown rice (I use quick brown rice, since it’s easier and more fool-proof)

1 large red bell pepper, chopped

1 large tomato, seeded and chopped

2 c. carrots, sliced

10 oz. frozen peas

½ c. scallions, including as much of the green tops as possible, finely chopped

2/3 c. sliced almonds, toasted

Preparation

Mix in the dressing,and set aside. Cook and drain the rices separately, and add them to the rest of the ingredients. Add the dressing, toss, and chill before serving.
