    4. Make the wild rice mix:In a large heavy saucepan combine the wild rice with the water and the salt and simmer it, covered, for 45 to 50 min, till it is tender and all the water is absorbed. Transfer the wild rice to a large bowl and add in
    5. the vinegar, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss the mix well and let it cold completely. The wild rice mix may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Stir in the scallions and the raisins.
    6. Cut the chicken into 3/4-inch pcs. Spoon the wild rice mix onto one side of a large shallow serving dish, arrange the chicken on the other
    7. half, and arrange the mache decoratively down the middle. Serve the dressing separately. (Alternatively, the wild rice mix, the chicken, and the dressing may be tossed together in a large serving bowl and garnish with the mache.)
