Method

In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil and stir in wild rice. 

Lower the heat, cover the pan and cook at a bare simmer until rice grains are tender and most have popped open, about 50 minutes. 

Drain off any excess liquid. 

Spread rice on a plate and allow to cool.

Meanwhile, purée vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt and 1 cup of the cherries in a blender. 

In a large bowl, combine spinach, celery, green onions and walnuts. 

Quarter remaining 1 cup cherries and add them to the bowl. 

Drizzle with cherry purée and toss. 

Toss again with the cooled rice and serve.
