Wild Rice Fueling & Recovery Salad Shannon-Style

The best type of food to have before and after a workout (about 2 hours after your recovery shake) is a nice complex carbohydrate with a decent amount of protein! This tasty wild rice salad meets the criteria with Aduki beans (which actually do NOT cause gas). 


Ingredients:
- 1 package of Lundberg Jubilee wild rice, cooked
- 1 can of Eden Aduki beans
- 1 handful of cilantro chopped
- 2 stalks of celery, diced into small pieces
- 2 medium carrots, diced into small pieces
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
-3/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds

Dressing: 
- juice from two limes
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 squirts of agave nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- dash of salt
- dash of pepper

Directions: 
Cook rice according to package instructions. Allow to cool (I often cook it the night before I make the salad). Mix all of the ingredients well. Prepare the dressing and pour over the salad and mix well again! That was easy!
