Not only does this dish taste great but it looks pretty as well. The fresh
ginger dressing goes nicely with the nutty flavor of wild rice and adds a
new twist to this dish.

Bring large saucepan of water to a boil. Add wild rice and cook until
tender, about 50 minutes. Drain; transfer rice to large mixing bowl.

Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add green beans and
boil until bright green and just tender, about 1 minute. With slotted
spoon, scoop out beans and drain in colander. Return water to a boil and
add orzo. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Add green beans,
orzo, bell peppers and onion to rice in bowl and mix gently.

Dressing: In food processor or blender, combine all ingredients and process
until well-blended. Pour dressing over rice mixture and toss to coat. Serve
at room temperature.
