A simple rice salad in a café inspired thoughts of adding Indian spices and chutney to this dish. To fire things up, mix in a small amount of hot chili oil, tasting carefully as you go. —Brooke Martin, Greenfield, Minnesota

I have made this delicious salad several times since it appeared in the magazine. My whole family loves it! The first time I made it, I only made half a recipe, and my husband and father-in-law ate ALL the leftovers before I got any. Needless to say, I make the entire 8 cups of rice now. I like it with a few drops of hot sauce, like Siracha.

I needed a Pot Luck summer dish & this was PERFECT! It was completely gone. Several people asked me to make it again & bring the recipe to share. My husband asked me to make it again for home so I cut the rice,fruit & veggies in half but not the sauce. I have made it several times now but substituted the cranberries with other dried fruits like cherries, raisins, and even pineapple once. This recipe is great.

I have been eating this salad non-stop since I made it. It is so delicious. It's also really pretty. My husband does the South Beach diet, and so this dish is perfect with its whole grain rice, veggies and nuts. I cut the spinach into thin ribbons and stirred it into the salad,which I prefer to whole leaves. I also used pineapple chutney b/c I couldn't find mango chutney in the store, and it tastes great. I also used red onion instead of green. I don't think I used 8 cups of rice, though. I like a lot of sauce/dressing and add ins and was concerned the rice would overpower the dish. So I used maybe even half of what is called for here. The mixture of sweet and heat plus the crunch of the nuts is really wonderful. Don't leave out any ingredient. They all mix together to make a fabulous dish. I also like the fact that it's different and not the same-old/same-old. I will definitely bring this to picnics all summer.
