This is a great salad to make ahead of time. It's even better the next day after the flavors have had a chance to meld.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the cranberries and the tartness of the dressing complement the turkey and rice perfectly.

This is a very versatile salad. I've added different vegetables and fruits to it, depending on what I have on hand. It's always delicious.

I've made this salad with both white and brown rice and it's always good. I prefer the brown rice because it gives the salad a nuttier flavor.

I made this salad for a picnic and it was the perfect dish to transport. It held up well and was still delicious hours later.
