1. Rinse wild rice well. Bring the water to boiling in a large saucepan. Add wild rice. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 40 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed and rice is tender. Drain, if necessary.
2. Meanwhile, cook rice pilaf according to the package directions.
3. Combine the wild rice, rice pilaf, chicken, sweet pepper, and pea pods strips in a large bowl.
4. Stir together salad dressings and black pepper in a small bowl. Pour over rice mixture. Stir gently to mix. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
5. To serve, arrange green onions around edges of 6 to 8 chilled salad plates. Spoon rice mixture into center. Garnish each plate with additional pea pods, if desired. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
- Note *If you want to curl the green onions, place the green onion strips in ice water for 20 minutes; drain well.
