If you want to get your kids to eat their sweet peas this is the way to do it!
Take a look at what my friend Audrey from the Melady Cooks food blog had to say about this magnificent recipe:
I served the salad with corn dogs (a future post) for dinner the next evening and we loved the flavors. Very different, since we rarely have wild rice unless it’s in a soup or stuffing. The peas and wild rice were the predominant flavors, with the other vegetables a nice background. Whoever thought to add the teriyaki sauce gets a thumbs up! Nice touch! The salad is a charming change from our usual pasta type salads. I will definitely be making this again!
I made this yummy sweet pea wild rice salad for a church potluck meal last Sunday and all who ate it came back for seconds 🙂
