This salad was a disappointment. The rice was overcooked, and the dressing was too vinegary.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This salad is a bit too spicy for me, but I can see how it would be a hit with people who like Cajun food.

I've made this salad several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the rice is fluffy and light.

This Cajun rice salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the rice was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.
