Overall, I thought this pilaf was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this recipe to be a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This pilaf is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bag of frozen veggies in my freezer, so this is a go-to recipe for me.
