I love this salad! So healthy and yummy! I took it to a picnic and everyone loved it! Even my 7yr old! After reading othe reviews, I did add a little more dressing and it turned out great! Great leftovers too!

Like a lot of the other reviews, we added quite a bit more salad dressing than the recipe called for. I served it for guests and everyone liked it. I think the kidney beans and slivered almonds really made this unique. It is pretty, healthy, has a great texture, and tastes really good, too. Will make again - Thanks for the recipe!

I made this for a barbeque and it was enjoyed by all. I cheated and used minute brown rice. I did use more dressing than the recipe called for and my husband said he thought it was still a little dry. The little bit I did bring home tasted even better after sitting in the fridge for another day.

I made this recipe as written (except I forgot to pick up a green pepper, but I did have orange, yellow, and red). Oh, and I used *minute* rice because I'm lazy. It's pretty good. I can't decide how I feel about it, but Mr. LTH liked it! It's most def worth trying!!! I had it for lunch and thought it was ok. Then, for dinner, I added a splash of banana pepper juice and a shake of parm cheese (I would have chopped up some banana peppers and added them too, but, I'm lazy) and that really made a difference for me! I will prob make again, as it is a very nutrient dense all-in-one side! Thanks for a unique recipe (and thanks to LARKSPUR for mentioning it on the RE!)!

I love this salad... so different with the rice. I used pecans because I was out of almonds. Also, I used Italian dressing and added a little vinegar. Just a personal preference. Everything else was as listed and is a keeper!

This is a delicious and beautiful salad! With the addition of carrots, it would have every color in the rainbow (except blue, of course!) and it tastes even better than it looks! I didn't add the mushrooms, because I didn't have any, and I also doubled the amount of salad dressing, because it was a little bland. With these changes, the salad is absolutely fantastic and so healthy! I will definitely make this again; thanks for sharing!
