Ingredients
-
2 cups Wild Rice Blend
-
Chicken Stock
-
3 Tbsp Sicilian Lemon Infused Olive Oil
-
1 Onion, finely diced
-
2 Tbsp Apple Chai Sugar Shaker
-
6 ounces Frozen Dark, Sweet Cherries

½ cup Prosecco Italian White Wine Vinegar

1 Tbsp Vanilla Bean Infused Sea Salt
-
3 Stalks Celery, diced small

Directions
In a large stockpot, cook the rice according to package directions using chicken stock instead of water.
Meanwhile, in large sauté pan heat Sicilian Lemon Olive Oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in Apple Chai Sugar Shaker, cherries, Prosecco Vinegar, and Vanilla Bean Sea Salt. Allow to cook and reduce slightly, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with more salt as necessary.
Toss the cooked rice with the celery and dressing. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with pomegranate seeds and pecans. Enjoy!
