This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

I loved this salad! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. I especially liked the crunch of the toasted walnuts and the sweetness of the fruit.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and veggies. It's also a great make-ahead meal, which is perfect for busy weeknights.

This was a great recipe! I followed it exactly and it turned out perfect. The salad was light and refreshing, and the dressing was tangy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

Not a fan. The flavors were just okay and the texture was a bit mushy. I think I'll stick to my regular rice salad recipe.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some leftover jasmine rice from a takeout order and this was the perfect way to use it up. The salad was flavorful and filling, and it made a great lunch.

Just made this for dinner and it was delicious! The only change I made was adding a bit of extra lime juice to the dressing. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
