So so good!! I only changed 1 ingredient. I didn’t have forbidden rice so I used quinoa.
This salad was very satisfying along with our steak.
Thanks for the recipe!

Cannot have edamame, but love everything else. What would be a addition for the edamame?

So delicious and I will definitely make it again. I cooked the wild rice and made the vinaigrette in advance over the weekend so it was super easy and quick to put together the salad after work. The vinaigrette was very good and gave the salad just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the different ingredients.

I made this today as a side for a vegetarian strata for brunch for my girlfriends. We all loved it. I reduced the amount of rice slightly and added one small avocado. Several of the ladies asked for the recipe, which I am delighted to share. The dressing really makes this special.

So … yeah … I made the salad, but no one really liked it. The flavors of the watercress, rice, edamame, green onion, and orange peppers just didn’t work well together. Dressing was okay, but a little strong. It was pretty, though! :-) It was also super nutritious!

This salad was fantastic and is going to be a regular meal for me from now on. Satisfying, healthy as all get out, and delicious! I added supremed orange sections to one meal and used up some glazed kumquats on another. The glazed kumquat version was to die for, so that will be my go-to version whenever they are in season. Also opted for Thai sweet chili sauce in the dressing in place of agave nectar and red pepper flakes. So glad I found this recipe!
