Cranberry Edamame Wild Rice Salad

JanuaryBride's Note:

A healthy, tasty and pretty dish. Perfect for a lunch or even as a side dish to some poultry or pork for a dinner party. You can either use leftover wild rice (which is what we did), make your own or even buy it cooked in a can! Recipe from Prevention magazine Nov 2008.

[Wish I Could Cook]

So good! This is a really tasty salad! I accidently made it with peas because the bag of frozen edamame that I know I had in the freezer somehow disappeared. But peas turned out to be an excellent sub. I loved the variety of textures and the rice vinegar added a lovely flash of tangy zip. I think this salad is going on the Thanksgiving table this year!
