I never thought of putting wild rice with chicken salad. I will have to give this a try it looks great! This would be great for a picnic.

Hey Kathy! This salad looks absolutely delicious! The thing is, I don’t have any wild rice with me, and I would like to make this dish for dinner, and I can’t go to the store. Is there anything else I can use instead of the wild rice? Like maybe fried rice?
Thank you so much! I love you’re recipes!

White or brown rice would work for this recipe, but not be quite as good as the wild rice. I would definitely not use fried rice!
Thalia said:
Ah, I see. Well i went out and bought of box of wild rice, so no more worries:) All I need now are the green onions and red pepper.
Thanks! Keep making more videos!
