8 ounces of orzo pasta, cooked and drained according to directions
1 can black beans, drained
1 1/2 cups corn
1 red pepper, diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
4 ounces wild rice, cooked according to directions
Note
– if using fresh corn, remove from cob and blanch in boiling water and
drain before adding to salad mixture. To easily remove fresh corn from
the cob, rest cob on the center of an angel food cake pan and cut down
the cob, so it falls and collects in the pan.
Mix
all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add dressing and refrigerate
for several hours or overnight. Drain excess dressing before serving.
Dressing
1 cup salad oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 – 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
Mix all ingredients until thoroughly blended and sugar is dissolved.
