Tofu and Wild Rice Salad

By blum099

Ingredients

• 1 (6-ounce) box wild rice (I prefer Uncle Ben's Original Recipe)
• 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken (a rotisserie bird works perfectly)
• 1 cup green grapes, cut into quarters or eighths depending on size
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 1/2 cup light mayonnaise (or more or less to taste)
• Kosher salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Cook wild rice according to package directions, erring on the side of al dente (this should not be a mushy salad).

Mix cooked rice, shredded chicken, grapes, almonds, and mayonnaise together in a large bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, adjusting ingredients to taste. (If you use a fresh rotisserie bird and just cooked rice, the dish will be ready to serve warm, or chill if desired.)

Vegan adaptation:
• Substitute 3 cups diced marinated and baked tofu for the chicken (see instructions here for delicious baked tofu) and 1/2 cup Vegenaise or eggless mayonnaise (see two recipes here) for the regular mayonnaise.
