Health and fertility benefits of Cranberry Rice Salad Recipe

Poppy seeds are packed with calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, and zinc. Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked long grain rice
3/4 cup dried cranberries
2 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
