Reviews from our home cooks
The mini cucumber was squashy, old, and not fresh at all. I ended up using English cucumber I had instead because the one that came with the package was inedible. Other than that, this dish was great! Easy to make, feels very healthy to eat, and filling. I loved the recipe!
Great mix of textures and nice balance on the flavors. The arugula got a little too wilted and got stringy so perhaps change it for a mix of arugula and spinach?
The only feedback I have is the combo of the vinegar and arugula. Those two strong flavors were fighting in my mouth, but my husband absolutely loved it.
Surprisingly good and satisfying! Despite weird appearance and smell of rice before mixing it in. Dressing is amazing and the way the warm rice wilts the greens is perfect
Wow! This was delicious. Definitely would get again. I feel like a trained chef when I make a dressing from scratch. It has a ton of flavor
This meal was so delicious! I added some hummus and pita chips for a delicious meal. Will definitely get again
This is just up my alley. Loved it. Easy, filling, had enough for 3 servings. Have duplicated it since.
Loving these grain bowls. Easy prep for a quick lunch
Lots of delicious flavors in a yummy dish - low cal easy to fix - a great dinner
Love the taste and textures of this dish. Might be too vinegary for those who are not a fan of vinegar based sauces.
