Directions
1.Make the dressing: In a large serving bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, honey, cumin, and salt. Whisk together with a fork.
2.Add corn, blueberries, rice, cucumber, onion, and cilantro. Stir together all ingredients to coat them evenly with dressing.
3.Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate 1 hour to let flavors meld.
4.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Mix in wild rice and ½ teaspoon salt and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 45 minutes.
Chef's Tips
- The rice will absorb flavors better if mixed with the dressing while a little warm.
- If using leftover cold rice, microwave or steam it briefly to rewarm.
- If you need to make rice: Bring 1 cup rice, water (2 1/4 cups for brown, 3 cups for wild), and a pinch of salt to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. This basic recipe will make 3 cups of cooked rice so save some for another time.
