Today I have a terrific salad recipe for you that can either be served as a side dish (4th of July bbq anyone?) or as a main dish for lunch. I made this salad and portioned it into individual containers for lunches and, let me tell you, it was delicious! The combo of the chewy wild rice with the edamame, carrots, almonds and dried cranberries is hard to beat. Plus, this salad is so substantial that you will not get hungry before dinner! I promise! Enjoy!

1/2 c. sliced almonds
1 T. sesame seeds
2 c. wild rice, cooked according to package directions
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 c. shelled cooked edamame (I bough frozen and steamed it)

1/2 c. dried cranberries
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 T. sesame oil
1/4 c. rice vinegar
2 t. honey
2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper

Place the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring often, until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl. Add the sesame seeds to the pan and toast, stirring often, until golden brown. ...
