Chicken Salad with Rice, Pecans, Grapes, and Orange Dressing

Print
Wild rice and pecans lend great texture and nuttiness to this creative salad that's perfectly balanced with the subtle sweetness of grapes and orange marmalade.  Wild "rice", which is actually a semi-aquatic grass, is high in fiber and is beautifully enhanced with savory flavor when cooked in broth.

Instructions
