Well believe it or not, I do like the occasional healthy salad or three. I decided early this year (2014) that I would try and do a raw project, but that soon got way laid by other things, but this is one of the better recipes I concoted during that time. I really like it and whilst the pimento is not strictly ‘raw’, it is so amazing with it included, that I just couldn’t leave it out. And after all, it is barely a pinch...If healthy is what you are after, this is certainly it. If you are not really a raw foodist, don’t soak the wild rice, go ahead and cook it. Either way, I am pretty confident this will end up on regular rotation. Happy Rawthentic Mixing!
