This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day.

I'm not a fan of mayo-based dressings, so I used a vinaigrette instead. It was a great substitute.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice. I also added some chopped bacon for extra flavor.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used tofu instead. It was a great substitute.

I'm not a fan of shrimp, so I substituted grilled chicken instead. It turned out great!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach and wild rice. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. The dressing was too runny and the spinach was wilted.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found the shrimp to be a bit overcooked.
