Step 1
Pour wild rice into a medium non-stick sauce pan, along with the water and the flavor packet. Bring to a rapid boil, then adjust the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered for 20-25 minutes. Rice will still be moist, but with no standing liquid.
Step 2
While the rice is cooking, add the pecan halves, raisins, grated orange zest and mint to a medium bowl and stir.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the onion, olive oil, orange juice, salt and pepper together, whisking briskly to combine.
Step 4
Mix the rice into the bowl with the pecan/raisin mixture and stir. Pour in the orange juice/olive oil dressing and toss gently until completely combined.
Step 5
Set the bowl on the counter and let the salad stand for at least 2 hours to let the flavors develop. Serve at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers.
