Ingredients

4 cups water
1 cup wild rice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup Sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups cubed (1/2 inch) cooked chicken (about 1 3/4 pound)
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (2 cups)
1 medium red onion, finely chopped (1 cup)

    Whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard, remaining salt (or to taste), and pepper.

    Step 3

    Combine rice with remaining ingredients in a large bowl, then gently toss with vinaigrette.
