    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2014. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

     

    You're right. Avocado, Blueberry, and Wild Rice may seem like an odd combination at first...until you try it. The creaminess of the avocado mixes beautifully well with the sweet tartness of the blueberries and the wild rice adds a nice bite and nuttiness. Finish it all off with some chopped cilantro and you have a summertime salad that is like no other.

    I serve this salad chilled, right out of the fridge. You can, however, serve it warm but don't overheat it because it's best when the blueberries retain their shape and texture. This is also a dream to prepare as it uses Uncle Ben's ready rice and takes about 5 minutes to assemble.

    This salad pairs well with all sorts of grilled meat and fish dishes. It's perfect for summertime entertaining because it can sit out on a buffet table in the warmest of weather and you don't have to worry about it keeping fresh because of the light dressing of lime juice and teriyaki.

      Growing up, I never liked when my mom put fruits into our salads. I liked lettuce and veggies. But now I know the appeal...and your rice, avocado and blueberry mixture looks amazing!

        I never would have liked it when I was young either, Liz. Thankfully my mom never veered too far off from a traditional iceberg, carrot and tomato salad. Now I love fruit in all sorts of salads and I love to experiment with flavors and textures.
