Wild Rice Chicken Salad

"I tinkered with several iterations of this salad before coming up with the final product. Great light meal served atop lettuce or just when you feel like having something lighter for lunch or dinner. Note that 8 hours of chilling time is needed to allow the flavors to meld...not referenced in cooking time."
