This salad was a lot of work to make and it didn't really turn out that well. I wouldn't recommend it.

I thought this salad was really bland. I had to add extra salt and pepper to make it taste better.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The rice was a bit mushy for my liking. I think I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar.

I love the pop of color that the cranberries add to this salad. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice.

I'm not usually a fan of rice salad, but this one was really good! The cranberries and walnuts added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch.

This cranberry rice salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of sweet and savory flavors was perfect, and the colors were so vibrant. I will definitely be making this again.
