For an extra layer of flavor, toast the wild rice mix in a dry pan for a few minutes before cooking. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as bell peppers, corn, or cucumbers, based on your preference and availability. The salad can be made a day ahead of time. Add the dressing just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
