Miso Ginger Wild Rice Salad

Miso Ginger Wild Rice Salad

This Miso Ginger Wild Rice Salad is the perfect combination of crunchy vegetables, nutty flavour from the wild rice and the tangy sweetness from the miso ginger dressing. This is a great side dish but if I am eating as a meal, I like to add sone lentils. Make it the day before, it is even better the second day!
