Rustle up this simple salad for lunch with friends in the garden. It combines nutty wild rice, peppery radishes, roasted red peppers and green beans - crisp, clean and bright ingredients that create a delicious mix of textures. We liked it best served in our new Perl bowls, along with hunks of crusty bread and olive oil.
