Verna's Wild Rice with Mandarin Orange Salad

Thursday evening after class I stopped at Festival Foods to pick up groceries for this Tuessday PM. I had not eaten supper so was starved and picked up some Wild Rice-Mandarin Orange Salad in the deli
.
Yes it was good but very flat, so I went home and made my version of it. I think you will really like this salad.
