1 cup wild rice
4 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped herbs (parsley, basil and chives)
1 cup diced, seeded tomato
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Salt to taste
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (or to taste)
Rinse rice thoroughly in cold water in a strainer. Soak for at least 4 hours in a large bowl with water to cover. Place in a large pot with the chicken stock and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Combine cooled rice, scallions, herbs, tomato and feta. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Pour dressing over rice mixture and stir to coat thoroughly. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
