This recipe is inspired by the salad from Cubbys. It uses the classic balsamic dijon vinaigrette salad dressing (that I use for several other salad recipes). The wild rice makes this salad extra hearty. While this may not be a favorite salad of many, this is sure to be a winner with adventurous eaters!

Cooked Wild Rice
Chopped grilled chicken
feta or goat cheese
crisp apples, diced
kale
raisins
toasted almonds
Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette
-Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. This is best if you let it sit for an hour before serving. It gives the dressing time to soften the kale. Season with additional salt/pepper as desire.
Creamy Balsamic Dressing
-This dressing doesn't actually have mayonnaise, but when you blend it in a blender to emulsify the oil and vinegar it takes on a beautiful creamy look!
1/2 c. light olive oil
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1/4 c. honey or maple syrup
1 clove garlic
1 TBS dijon mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
-Blend all ingredients in a blender on high for 2 minutes until emulsified (keeps dressing from separating).
