I'm not a fan of wild rice, but this salad looks really good. I might give it a try.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The salad was a bit too sweet for my taste and the dressing was not very flavorful. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This salad was a disappointment. The wild rice was dry and the chicken was tough. The vegetables were also bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This salad is delicious! I love the combination of flavors and textures. The wild rice is chewy, the chicken is tender, and the vegetables are crisp. The dressing is also very good. I will definitely be making this salad again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more dressing. Otherwise, it's a perfect salad.

This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use leftover chicken or turkey, which makes it a great way to use up leftovers.
