I've made this salad a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. I like to add a bit of extra lemon juice and some chopped fresh herbs.

This nutty rice salad was a huge hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the combination of flavors and textures. The dressing was light and tangy, and the nuts and seeds added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
