Okay- I made the recipe just as you wrote(sort of)-except I added some roast chicken, and I made double the dressing mix.....and of course I didn't have enough rice, so I used tri-color pasta.
It came out excellent-very tasty recipe! The dressing for the salad is such a wonderful conglomerate of flavors......very yummy stuff! Thanks for this recipe post!!
