An excellent side dish. Tasty and nutritious. The cook time is approximate as it depends on the brand of wild rice pilaf you are using.

I'm not a huge fan of wild rice, but this salad was actually really good! The dressing is light and refreshing, and the vegetables add a nice crunch.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or fish. I also like to add a handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as basil or cilantro.

This was my first time cooking wild rice and it turned out perfectly! The salad was delicious and I'll definitely be making it again.

The dressing was a bit too tart for my taste, but overall the salad was good.

Easy to make and packed with flavor! I used brown rice instead of wild rice and it turned out great.

This lemon wild rice salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of tangy lemon, nutty wild rice, and crisp vegetables was incredibly refreshing. I especially enjoyed the addition of the toasted almonds, which added a lovely crunch.
