Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup wild rice cooked to package directions and cooled
  • 1 cup pearl or regular couscous cooked to package directions and cooled
  • ¼ cup almonds chopped or slivered, toasted
  • 3 ounces pancetta diced
  • ½ small bunch kale washed and leaves thinly sliced
  • 2 cups chopped canteloupe
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Combine the couscous, wild rice, pancetta, kale, and almonds in a large bowl with the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Taste, and season more to your preference.
  • Right before serving, stir in the cantaloupe and feta cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Timeline: I start the rice and couscous in two separate pots. While that's cooking, I toast the almonds in a large skillet. Then, in the same skillet (almonds removed), I cook the pancetta until crisp and let it drain on paper towels.
  • Then, I prep everything else.
  • When the rices are cooked and cooled, I combine them with the kale, almonds, olive oil, and pancetta. Right before serving, I add feta and canteloupe, taste for salt, and serve.
