I have made this the past several years for holiday events to unanimous praise. The colors of this dish (red pomegranate seeds, green/pruple pistachios, black wild rice, white basmati rice, green herbs) are alive, and add a fun, festive touch to any buffet table. My local grocery store carries ready made wild rice, which is a huge time saver, and actually less expensive. A holiday celebration isn't complete without this dish!
