Cherry Wild Rice

Cherry Wild Rice
1 c sprouted quinoa rice blend (I got this at Costco)
1/2 c fresh sweet cherries, quartered, seed removed
1/3 c chopped raw cashews
2-3 stalks finely chopped celery
freshly snipped chives (optional)

Dressing
2 T red wine vinegar
1 T lemon juice
1 clove garlic

1 t Dijon mustard

1 t raw honey

1/3 c olive oil
1/2 t ground pepper

1/4 t sea salt

Measure 2 1/2 c filtered water and add 1 t (opt) of vegetable broth powder. Bring to a boil and add rice blend. Simmer 25 minutes, and then take off burner and let it steam for 10 more. Let cool.
Transfer to large bowl and mix in remaining ingredients.
Blend all of the ingredients for the dressing and pour over rice mixture. Stir gently until well incorporated.

**I doubled for our family. This had a different flavor, but we all gobbled it up.
