the only flavor this salad had was the vinegar. I would definitely not make this again and cannot recommend it.

Wow! I did not expect this salad to be as good as it was. Had some left over grilled chicken and was in a hurry to make something for dinner. My family devoured it - not a grain of rice left! We ate it right after I put it together and it was delicious. I followed the recipe other than using white wine vinegar instead of white balsamic vinegar because it's what I had on hand. Will definitely make this again - highly recommend it!

This is probably the best chicken and rice salad I have ever had. Every time I serve it, I always have people (men and women!) who want the receipe. You can serve as a main dish or as a side. It is crunchy, sweet, tart and filling! Highly recommended!
