Wild Rice Salad with Cranberries & Pecans

wild rice (, rinsed)

water

salt

orange zest

orange juice

olive oil

apple cider vinegar

honey

dijon mustard

black pepper

pecans (, toasted and coarsley chopped)

cranberries

Italian parsley

celery ribs (, diced)

apple (, peeled, cored, and diced)

pumpkin

scallions (, light and green parts, thinly sliced)

In a medium pot, combine the rice, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low; cover and simmer until the rice is tender and most of the grains have split open, about 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer the rice to a fine-mesh strainer to drain any excess water. Let cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the cooled rice, pecans, dried cranberries, parsley, celery, apple, pepitas, and scallions. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if desired. Serve cold or at room temperature.
