This salad is not for everyone. The flavors are quite strong and some people may find them to be overwhelming.

I found the dressing to be a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice.

This wild rice salad is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The figs add a touch of sweetness, while the walnuts and goat cheese add a savory crunch. The dressing is light and tangy, and perfectly complements the salad.
