I enjoyed this salad at a well-known restaurant and when they wouldn't divulge the recipe, I created my own. Although a bit time consuming, everything can be prepared at least a day ahead, covered and refrigerated. I took this salad to the 2011 AR Buckeye Bash and am posting for those who requested the recipe. This salad may be served cold or at room temperature.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked orzo
  • 0.5 cups cooked wild rice
  • 0.5 cups diced orange bell pepper
  • 0.5 cups diced red bell pepper
  • 0.5 cups frozen corn , thawed
  • 0.5 cups dried currants
  • 0.25 cups diced red onion

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine orzo, wild rice, orange bell pepper, red bell pepper, corn, currants, and red onion together in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Blend vegetable oil, sugar, white wine vinegar, cider vinegar, minced onion, white pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and 1 pinch salt together in a blender or food processor until smooth.
