Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Using a strainer, rinse wild rice medley until water runs clear.
- To a medium pot, add rice, broth concentrate, 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 20-24 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
- To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add sweet potatoes, Southwest Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 22-23 min, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium non-stick pan over medium.
- When hot, add pecans to the dry pan. Toast for 4-5 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- To a large bowl, add kale and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt.
- Using your hands, massage oil into kale for 30 sec to soften leaves.
- Core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces.
- To the bowl with kale, add apples and cranberries. Set aside.
- To a small bowl, add Dijon, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) maple syrup, vinegar and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil.
- Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- Fluff wild rice with a fork, then season with salt, if you like.
- To the large bowl with salad, add wild rice, sweet potatoes and half the dressing.
- Toss to combine.
- Divide salad between bowls.
- Drizzle remaining dressing over top.
- Sprinkle with pecans and feta.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavour: The maple-Dijon dressing and the combination of sweet potato, apple, cranberries, and pecans were widely praised as a well-balanced, satisfying mix. Some reviewers found the dressing a touch too mustardy and suggest using less Dijon for a milder result.
- Ease of prep: The recipe involves several components cooking at once, which some reviewers found a bit involved; following the steps in order keeps things manageable.
- Suggestions: Consider using quinoa or couscous in place of the wild rice for a quicker cook; one reviewer also noted that massaging the kale well helps soften it and improves the overall texture. Add extra dressing or dried cranberries if you prefer a more flavourful, moist salad.
- Leftovers: One reviewer noted the salad travelled well and held up nicely in a cooler, making it a good option for packed lunches.
