I like the mix of sweet fruit and the savory wild rice. Also, I rather than wild rice alone, I used a boxed wild rice and quinoa blend, but any wild rice will work here. The key is that sweet mixed with the savory/slightly salty. At least it is for me.

I added the fruit I had on hand and that was perfectly ripe. There were pears, apples, and grapes on my counter and the pears were perfect. Some celery and onion along with some pecans, dried cranberries, and raisins rounded it out nicely. I don’t think any of the photos show the nuts and dried fruit! But they’re there and they’re delicious!
