Wild Rice Chicken Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked wild rice
2 cups diced cooked chicken (or 1 large can of chicken, drained)
1 cup red grapes, halved
1 cup sliced water chestnuts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup cashews or 1 cup almonds
1/2 cup craisins (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Cook rice according to package directions. Drain and cool to room temperature. Add rest of ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and chill a couple hours before serving (overnight is fine).
Tips: I have been using the Uncle Ben's 90 second microwave pouch for the rice part. I use the long grain and wild rice mix.
I also think it tastes better with canned chicken.
