Wild Rice Salad

By aobrien1

A slightly different chicken salad that uses wild rice. Makes a very elegant lunch salad. I added 1 diced, unpeeled apple to the original recipe for a touch of sweetness and extra crunchiness.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked wild rice, cooled
• 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped, cooled
• 1 cup finely chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped red pepper
• 1/2 cup crumbled crisply cooked bacon
• 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 diced unpeeled apple (Gala, Fuji, Pink Lady, Crispin)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup or more mayonnaise (I prefer light)
• Lettuce
• 3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
