I adapted this off of recipe #430432 to make something similar to a rice salad I had on a flight home from Mexico this spring. It turned out great posting it here for safe keeping.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. Maybe I didn't use enough dressing?

I didn't have any mandarin oranges on hand, so I used canned oranges instead. They worked just fine.

The dressing for this salad is a little too sweet for my taste, but that's an easy fix. I'll just use less sugar next time.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of wild rice, but I'm so glad I did! The flavors are incredible, and the rice is cooked perfectly.
