Step 1
Rinse the 1 cup mixed wild rice blend in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2.5 cups water, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. The grains should be split and chewy, not crunchy.
Step 4
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil before serving.
