A nice little change up from your regular pasta or potato salad is our Asian Rice Salad. Served chilled,  the combo of tender wild rice, crunchy cashews and water chestnuts are addicting!  We also add baby corn to get more veggies in there. Best part? It’s easy!  It’s gotta be easy or it just doesn’t show up here! This is a redo of a recipe we have been making in our family for years. It needed some new love!

Start with a store bought brown and wild rice mix!  Lets keep this easy!

We use a brand called Farmhouse but you can use any Brown and Wild Rice Blend in you like.

Because I am always watching my waist line, (lately I’ve been watching it grow …ahem), I subbed out half the mayo for greek yogurt in this recipe.  I didn’t tell anybody and nobody noticed!  My arteries are thanking me.

Cook  the rice according to package directions and chill well.  Two hours should do it.

Chop up baby corn, water chestnuts, spring onion, and cashews.    Add to a large bowl along with the cooked and cooled rice.
