Black Bean and Wild Rice Salad Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Black Bean and Wild Rice Salad Recipe). I love this cold salad as a light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish in the summer or fall. The orange and herb vinaigrette is really delicious! Dried cherries are a tasty substitution for the dried cranberries. And pecans work well if you don't have cashews.
