Classic Minnesota Wild Rice Salad

Classic Minnesota Wild Rice Salad
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 cups cubed, cooked chicken
  • 2 cups seedless red grapes
  • 1 cup roasted salted cashews
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder


  1. Bring the wild rice and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender but not mushy, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid, fluff the rice with a fork, and cook uncovered 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let the rice cool thoroughly in refrigerator, about 1 hour.
  2. Transfer wild rice to a large salad bowl and toss with cooked chicken, grapes, cashews, and water chestnuts. Whisk mayonnaise, seasoned salt, soy sauce, and curry powder in a separate bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again. Chill thoroughly, at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
