Winter Citrus Wild Rice Salad

Run, don't walk, to your nearest produce section because it's officially CITRUS SEASON! And this wild rice salad with kale, pistachio, pomegranate seeds, and fresh squeezed citrus vinaigrette is the best way to celebrate. I've officially made this salad for two weeks in a row now because I just can't quit it.

Winter Citrus Wild Rice Salad-serves 4:

For the salad:

4 cups kale, thinly sliced

2 cups wild rice, cooked

1/2 cup feta

1/2 cup pistachios

1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

For the vinaigrette:

1/3 extra virgin olive oil

2/3 cup citrus, juiced (I used 1 blood orange and 3 lemons)

1.5 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients and set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, add the kale and massage the kale until tender, about 1-2 minutes. Add remaining salad ingredients and toss until fully combined. Add the vinaigrette and toss again. Add more salt to taste. Serve immediately.
