This Sweet Potato Wild Rice Arugula salad recipe is a passionate creation by food blogger Lindsay, from a Pinch of Yum. Experimentation with wild rice led to the creation of this earthy, colourful and delicious salad. It is the balanced combination of the nutty, chewy wild rice with the roasted sweet potatoes that makes this salad an absolute winner. The lemon-based dressing is light, refreshing and leverages the various flavours perfectly. This is definitely one salad that will not leave you hungry!
