From Family Circle All-time Favorite Recipes by editors of Family Circle (Doubleday)

Use deli smoked turkey in this rice salad that is also loaded with papaya and coconut for a tropical flair.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup sweetened flake coconut
  • 1 large sweet red pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 large sweet green pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 papayas, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 1 pound sliced smoked turkey, cut into matchstick strips
  • 1-3/4 cups Orange Dressing (recipe link below)

PREPARATION:

Add water to wild rice in a saucepan to cover by 2 inches. Simmer, covered, 35 to 40 minutes or until rice is tender and starts to split open. Drain; cool under cold tap water. Drain.

Meanwhile, cook white rice according to package directions. Drain; cool under cold tap water. Drain.
