I would make this salad again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less honey in the dressing, and I would add some more herbs or spices.

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

This salad was a bit too time-consuming to make. I would recommend using pre-cooked wild rice to save time.

I'm not a huge fan of wild rice, but this salad was really good. The apricots and dressing helped to offset the strong flavor of the rice.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover wild rice. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.
