There’s plenty of flavor and crunch in this refreshing salad. I like to use both red and green apples, and sometimes I substitute celery for the water chestnuts. —Vickie Lowrey, Fallon, Nevada

I have not made this yet, but I think I would use pasta instead of rice and add celery for the water chestnuts or maybe both.

Was not to impressed with this recipe. Macadamia nuts are very expensive so I used peanuts. It just seemed like this recipe was missing something.

I tried this and it was excellent. Very tasty. I was able to substitute mayonnaise for the yogurt.
