Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

Rice:
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in wild rice, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes or until rice is tender and splitting open. Drain off excess water. Spoon into a large bowl, let cool.
Meanwhile, whisk together all dressing ingredients.
Once rice is cooled, add remaining ingredients. Toss with dressing and refrigerate until ready to serve.
