  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, chopped chicken, red onion, celery, red bell pepper, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  5. Add the dressing to the bowl with the rice and chicken mixture and toss until everything is well coated and combined.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
