Sam Dalton says:

I've been eating wild rice a lot lately and really enjoyed this dish. I added extra lemon chicken to mine. The dressing was also really easy to make and I plan to use it on other salads as well.

Jessica Scott says:

I love wild rice, but this was my first time trying in with a salad. I marinated the chicken overnight and the next day it was so full of flavor .Definitely worth it! The dressing was very simple, but really it's all that was needed because the chicken boasts so much flavor. Great salad, so good that it makes you forget that it's healthy.
