Orange-Wild Rice Salad with Smoked Turkey
For picnics and potlucks, we make a salad of smoked turkey, wild rice and dried cherries. The citrus dressing is refreshing and light. —Sharon Tipton, Casselberry, FL

Reviews
Very disappointing. The picture makes it look so delicious, so we were looking forward to it, but it was just OK at best. I added more fruit and celery to make it more palatable, but still no one wanted to eat very much, which left a lot of leftovers, and then no one wanted to eat the leftovers., so 3/4 of it was thrown away. It might be better with a different dressing. What a waste. Update: just before tossing, I set aside a plate to give it another try. Realizing the problem was with the dressing, I tried adding a little strawberry flavored balsamic vinegar to the salad. Much much better.
