This was an easy dish to put together and used up a pile of the brown rice I had leftover! As a personal preference I used a little cinnamon in this, too. Really nice change for brown rice!

My husband and I loved this! I forgot to buy brown rice, so I used white, but it was so good. Now, my son - who is a big fan of Waldorf salad - thought this was ok, but he didn't really approve of the rice. The combination kind of reminded me of an interesting rice pudding. Thanks for posting!

this is different but very good, I used Greek yogurt which in my opinion improves the taste anything! the only thing I measured was the brown rice, I just eye balled the rest, used dried cranberries, I think this would be great using any kind of dried fruit, thanks for sharing Syd!

This is a real gem. Quick and easy to prepare and just delicious. Not sure what kind of apple I used but it was very crisp and sweet, perfect for this salad. Mixing mayonnaise and yogurt is one of my favorite ways to make a lowfat dressing - (mayo provides body while the yogurt provides creaminess) - and here they were in great balance. I was just about done making this recipe when I realized I was just about out of walnuts so my salad had only half of the stated amount. That may have given it a little less crunch, but that was amply supplied by the apples and celery.

I had a little leftover brown rice and so scaled down the recipe for 2 servings. I used red delicious apple and craisins. I didn't serve over greens. A great tastiing, creamy, slightly sweet salad that I enjoyed. Thank Mike!

I've been looking for make-ahead healthy things for my lunches, and this worked wonderfully. I used 3 apples (as they were sort of going bad and had lots of places that needed to be cut out), cranberries, left off the celery, and used pecans instead of walnuts. I also found that the only yogurt I had was bad so I used fat free sour cream to which I added a dash of vanilla and a dash of splenda. This has a nice mild flavor. I love that it can be made ahead of time and keeps for a few days. If I was making it for my lunch again I'd half it since I don't know if I can eat all of it before it gets funny. Thanks for a great healthy and tasty one to try!

I made this to take to a trivia night where it was shared with 15 other people. It was very easy to throw together. I had to leave out the walnuts due to an allergy. Used the golden delicious apples and the raisins, and some plain yogurt flavored w/ vanilla and sugar. There was too much dressing for my taste, even after I added extra rice, but everyone else seemed to really like it--some even went back for seconds (and there were lots of other choices!). I'll make this again but cut back on the dressing. Thanks Syd!
