Wild Rice Brussels Sprouts and Smoked Gouda Salad

I tried to re-create (copy cat) this side dish I found at Costco and can't find any more. With smoked gouda and roasted brussels sprouts, you can't go wrong! Love this dish.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1  cup wild rice, uncooked
• 2  tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1  lb Brussels sprout, trimmed of outer leaves and base, thinly shaved crosswise
• 1  cup smoked gouda cheese, shredded
• 1  cup craisins, chopped into smaller bits
• 1⁄2 cup  almonds, slivered
•  salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Prepare rice according to package directions.
2. In large saute pan, heat olive oil on medium. Add brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper to taste, and saute until tender and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
3. In a bowl, stir cooked rice, sprouts, and all other remaining ingredients. Mix until cheese is melted and everything is nicely mixed. If too thick, add a little water to thin it out. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
4. Serve warm/right away, 3/4 cup per person.
