Orzo and Wild Rice Salad(J Alexander's knock off)

                                                                                                               



Thanks Laurie for this incredible recipe! I made this a few years ago for Christmas because my husband loves it. My family went nuts over this!!



Salad:
4 cups cooked Orzo
3 cups cooked Wild Rice
1/2 cup chopped Parsley
6 tablespoons Red Onion, diced small
6 tablespoons Currants
1 ear of Corn, cooked and kernels removed
1 small Green, Red and Yellow Peppers, diced small
6 tablespoons Slivered Almonds
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Black Pepper



Dressing:
1 cup of good olive oil
1/4 cup sweet white balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh basil or 1 tablespoon fresh basil {minced}



For the dressing; Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, except the olive oil. Stir until blended and then while whisking the dressing slowly pour the olive oil in a steady stream. Refrigerate.



Cook the orzo and wild rice according to package directions, shock in cold water and then refrigerate. Put all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and toss with the dressing. Refrigerate for at least an hour or two so the dressing can soak into the ingredients!
