The asparagus was a bit too crunchy for my taste, but otherwise the salad was great.

Followed the recipe, but used brown rice instead of wild rice. Still turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of wild rice, but I really enjoyed this salad. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the dressing was delicious.
