We forgot to use the turmeric powder and I think we lost a lot of flavor because of it. Also we used pecans instead of walnuts, but we really liked the nutty flavor. We served it cold with some Hawaiian chicken and it was good. Next time we'll definitely use the turmeric!

I made this recipe X5 for a Hawaiian themed birthday party. I am so glad I chose this recipe - - loved the combination of all the ingredients and it tasted so good!! I made the rice and prepared the rest of the ingredients the night before the party and put everything together a couple of hours before we ate. It was perfect! Thanks for posting this recipe.

Excellent flavor! I served this with dale!'s Waikiki BBQ Chicken and it was great. It was very fruity and the turmeric gave such a wonderful color and taste. Thanks for posting!
