I've had this recipe in my cookbook for awhile and just around to making it. Wish I hadn't waited! This is so wonderful - with summer coming up, this one will be a standard for us. Pair this with fish or chicken on the grill for a fabulous and different side dish. I made the rice the day before so it was really quick and easy to put this together at the last minute. At dressing is tart and super flavorful - the pinapple adds just the right sweet taste and the nuts and celery give it a perfect crunch. I left out the sprouts and raisins - we don't like either of them. Really good!

I didn't have all the ingredients for this recipe but it sounded so good I made it with what I had. I used Tomato Chutney instead of Mango. I didn't have bean sprouts or baby corn, so just left them out. It was a hit at the pot luck. I think it would be better with the mango chutney and will definitely make it again using mango.

I have a lot in common with your other reviewers -- I also have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to make this awesome dish, and chose a potluck as well! I left out the mini corns and put peanuts in a small bowl on the side so they wouldn't get soggy and also in case of allergies. This really made a lot so it was perfect for the gathering. It is absolutely beautiful and was loved by everyone, vegetarian or not! Thanks!

Excellent! I also changed this slightly to make it more healthy, luckily it is just one of those dishes that you can get away with changing! I didn't add the salt or the oil and used light soya sauce. I used frozen rice as I always have left over rice in my freezer. Orange juice instead of pineapple juice, corn kernels instead of baby corn and almonds instead of peanuts. Also as I didn't have a tin of pineapple I used dried pineapple. Wow what a delishous, healthy, colourful rice salad! I served with my Orange Teriyaki Fish for a very tasty, healthy meal. Thanks for sharing.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
