1 cup uncooked wild rice
3/4 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook wild rice according to package directions; drain. Cool completely.
Meanwhile, bring apple cider, apple cider vinegar and shallot to a boil in saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until cider mixture is reduced to about 1/4 cup, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
