Wild Rice Peanut Salad



This salad is great on a yacht when provisions are limited, this could be for any reason maybe its the end of charter, you are in a far away destination with not a market or supermarket anywhere to be found, or you are on day 18 out at sea and still have a week to go.
This salad is great, only fresh ginger is required other wise all other ingredients can be found in the dry store.  Plus fresh ginger can be frozen of course when in its prime.

Note:  With so many allergies around, it is best to check that no one has a peanut allergy and I tend to personally stay clear of peanuts if there are children on board.  But saying that it seems a shame to dismiss it from our diets if there is no reason to do so. Therefore this is why I have given you this recipe.  Especially good for vegetarians.
