TURKEY AND WILD RICE SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring 3 1/2 cups of the stock or water to boil. Add salt to taste and the wild rice. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes until the rice is tender and has begun to splay. Taste the rice to make sure it's tender; if so, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients, except the pomegranate seeds.
• While the rice is cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt to taste, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the oils, taste and adjust seasonings. Toss with the warm rice and the remaining salad ingredients. Arrange the pomegranate seeds on top, and serve.

Steps:

• In a serving bowl, mix cubed cheese, onion rings, diced salami, diced tomato & sliced gherkins.

• Just b4 serving, toss salad in dressing & serve garnished w/chopped chives as desired.
• NOTE: To make ahead & avoid a mushy cheese effect, follow same prep except DO NOT include diced cheese in the mix of Step 1. Store the cheese ready to use in a sandwich bag or refrigerator container & combine w/salad ingredients at the same time the dressing is added just before serving.
