Just not really crazy about this, husband even less so. I did cut the lemon juice back to 2 tbsp, and that was a good decision. I knew there would be leftovers, so I did not add all of the dressing to the salad because of concerns over it becoming mushy. Will finish this off for lunch tomorrow at which time I'll add the rest of the dressing. Served this evening as a side to tilapia with lemon peppercorn sauce and honey glazed carrots. OK, but honestly, don't think I'll be making this one again. UPDATED 7.18.12: I just bumped this up to 4 stars after having this for lunch today. What I found is that we liked this MUCH better "cold" as opposed to warm. Now I will say that I WILL be making this again.

This was disappointing. The only thing I did differently was cook the wild rice in water, not broth like the recipe instructed. I didnt think it would make that much of a difference. I wont be using this recipe again.

I made it with long-grain white rice but that's all I could find. It turned out very well - really tangy and surprising. Not your average rice salad.

Great concept that could be modified to suit tastes! The texture is wonderful! I do agree that there is a tad too much lemon flavor though. I recommend using fresh lemon juice and not bottled, too. Bottled adds a synthetic flavor that detracts from the lovely combination of other flavors. Will be a regular at my house!

This has great potential, but was nothing to write home about as is. Little too much lemon in the dressing and it could actually use more rice. Use a strong and nutty wild rice - maybe a red jasmine - to make it more flavorful, and you will be better off as well.

I thought this looked good, and the basic recipe was okay. But it was pretty bland, at least for my family's taste. I added some ginger, paprika, and lemon juice. Even then, it wasn't that great.

I made this salad exactly to the recipe. It was great until the dressing was added. I would make this salad again but the lemon was way to strong. Three people tasted the salad before the dressing and after. No one really like it after the dressing was added the lemon made it too sour. I would use orange juice instead of lemon or less lemon juice.

Pretty good as I made it. Used 1/2 cup Jasmine rice and 1/4 cup wild rice. Omitted the Kiwi as the ones at the store we terrible and I didn't use ANY chicken stock as I was cooking chicken with it. Doubled the dressing. Was very good. I used some of the rest the next day in a wrap sandwich of turkey, lettuce, and cheese. That was even better!
