I'm not a big fan of wild rice, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The salad was very flavorful and the almonds and cranberries added a nice crunch.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was a bit dry and the dressing didn't have much flavor.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.
