I recently made this for a large family gathering, and it was a hit!! Both the kids and the adults raved about it!! The only change I made was to use all wild rice (just because I love it so much!) The dressing is absolutely delicious, and I think is what makes it so amazing!

Good recipe. Used an ancient grain mix from costco and added some chopped celery instead of nuts. Next time I will add mandarin oranges. A keeper for sure....maybe a little heavy on the vinegar taste but I just cut back a little.

Being on Phase 2 of South Beach, I've added protein by including edamame; it also brings color and a different texture to the party.

This could only be Brown Rice Salad for me because I couldn't find any wild rice in my local grocery stores. I accidentally made too much rice -- closer to 3 cups, I think -- but even so I only used about half the dressing and did not increase the other ingredients, and I thought it was just right. I loved the variety of flavors, from the sweetness of the cranberries to the crunchy kick of the onions. My boyfriend's father singled out this dish to praise in the midst of a meal with many good side dishes. It was a great alternative to hot potatoes or pilaf on a warm summer night.

I catered a dinner for around 40 people in March and they all loved it.

I wanted to love this salad. But I didn't. Neither did anyone else at the party - common response was it's different, or it's okay. No one loved it. I probably won't make it again.

Too sweet and too vinegary. It probably only needs half of the dressing this calls for.

Make recipe just as directed and was too tangy, too oily and lacking flavor except for the cranberries

This was a huge hit at my family picnic. I thought the raspberry vinegar would be too sweet, so I used store bought balsamic dressing instead. I also sprinkled on some blue cheese crumbles, which complemented the dish well. Fabulous recipe!
