Very delicious! I used chicken instead of turkey because I am not a big turkey fan... I also use fat free mayo. It is great on toasted bread or on it's own for a lite and healthy lunch. It's a keeper!!

Just got done making this. I added 1/2 an apple and used apple cider vinegar. Delicious on crescents.

Friends and family love it. I use mostly organic ingrients and avoid white vinegar due to its acid content. I replaced white vinegar with apple cidar vinegar, cooked wild rice in chicken stock, used full spectrum organic mayonnaise and substituted turkey breast with organic chicken breast.

I had some left-over wild rice and found this recipe. It was great! Thank you. My husband enjoyed it both as a salad, on a large piece of lettuce, and in a sandwich. We topped it with dried cranberries each time.

Gave it a 3 because I'm going to make again, but with some changes. Easy & nice change from pasta & leafy salads.

I served this at a party with small slices of pumpernickel bread and it all went. I didn't particularly enjoy it, but everyone else did. I omitted the green onion because I simply didn't have any and I think it would've been over the top if I hadn't.

This is a good recipe. I love wild rice - I usually use chicken in my recipe and I don't find that it changes the flavor much..

Delicious salad! I used left-over white rice, homemade vinegar and left out the onion. Added some cranberries to the mix and next time will add mandarin oranges suggested by another reviewer. Will be making this one for company!

This was really good & a nice change from the ordinary. Next time I think I'll add a bit of chicken stock or a bouillon cube to the water when cooking the wild rice.

I love this recipe. I use chicken and use 2 cups of fruit either all grapes or 1/2 grapes and 1/2 apples, the other thing I have done that is great in this salad is to use blood orange vinegar in place of the plain vinegar. Yummmm.

Great salad! Followed the recipe as is (except I used chicken instead of turkey, but I don't think that really counts as a big deviation) and we loved it. I served the salad on a bed of tender merlot lettuce from a local farm and it looked really pretty too. This is a versatile recipe in which you can create your own variety depending on personal taste. Almost any veggie would be great in this, and different vinegars would make interesting twists. Enjoy!

I made this for Easter barbecue and everyone loved it. I made a great big bowl of it and I didn't bring any home because it was gone. It was a change from making jello or a fruit salad.

Great salad recipe. I am extremely picking about the ingredients/flavors in salads, but this is so yummy. The flavors are pretty mild and the ingredients go very well together. And, it's healthy! I substituted chicken instead of turkey, but I'm sure it tastes similar. I also used 3/4c. of organic wild rice blend instead of a packaged mix. The slivered almonds add great texture. This is a nice salad to bring to a picnic or potluck too. I will be using this many times in the future.

I make this salad all the time! I love it! Make sure you use light or fat free mayo, regular gives it less flavor and a more greasy feel to it. I add a tad more sugar and use cider vinegar. Another great variation is to add mandarin oranges and cranberries.

I too couldn't find just one 6oz pkg of wild rice so I measured 1cup's worth and cooked it per the directions on the bag. Also, I added a splash of lemon juice to the mayo mix and used cashews instead of almonds. A very "summer salad" = great for the hot days we've been having around here!! Thanks Gina!
