2 (small) boxes of uncle Ben's wild rice (cook according to box directions)
4 green onions chopped

Add all ingredients except for avocados & pecans (add those right before serving).

Dressing:
4 cloves garlic or 2-3 tsp of minced garlic
2 T dijon mustard
1 t. salt
1 t. pepper
1 T sugar (can do less)

I made this salad for a friends baby shower and it was absolutely delicious! It's a must try!
