Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 0.5 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 4 scallions, sliced on the bias
  • 1 small red Thai chile, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint

  • 1 tsp grated lime zest
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
