Wild rice with dill and pecans

I cook extra amounts of grains (like rice or quinoa), so I can use the leftovers later in the week. This helps me make healthy dinners by having grains—with long cooking times—ready to eat in minutes. I made this chilled rice salad with leftover rice. It's a perfect side dish, especially for potlucks or picnics.
