Ingredients

3/4 cup pinto beans dried
1 1/2 cups wild rice cooked
3/4 cup sunflower oil
3 tablespoons wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chives chopped
2 small garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Soak the beans overnight in water to cover.

In the morning, drain the beans, rinse them under cold running water, and place them in a saucepan with fresh water to cover.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer several hours until the beans are soft and the skins begin to split.

Add water when necessary to keep the beans from drying, and stir occasionally to prevent them from burning and sticking.

Remove from the heat, drain, and allow to cool.

In a bowl, toss together the greens, beans and rice.

Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.

In a blender, combine the oil, vinegar, chives, garlic, pepper, and salt.

Blend at high speed until the chives and garlic are finely pureed.

Pour the dressing over the salad, toss, and garnish with chive blossoms.

A truly amazing combination of flavors. The dressing is divine, the warm and tart goat cheese combined with the sweetness of apple ring is truly out of this world.
