How to Make Alexander's Orzo And Wild Rice Salad
- Cook orzo and wild rice according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside to cool completely.
- **Make the dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together white wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir in Dijon mustard, chopped basil, salt, and pepper.
- Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking vigorously until the dressing emulsifies.
- Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled orzo, wild rice, cucumber, red bell pepper, and feta cheese (if using).
- Add 1/2 cup of the chilled dressing to the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. For best flavor, consume within 2 hours of mixing.
