Everyone will want more of this energizing salad because the radishes, which are crunchy and spicy, pair perfectly with the sweet, citrus-flavored dressing. Although we like it as a luncheon salad with crackers and wedges of hard-boiled egg, it also makes the ideal side dish for a picnic or BBQ in the spring or summer.

I have added this to our rotation. Hubby loves it! I love making this for my family. So happy to have this quick and easy meal. Delicious and flavorful.
It’s so good! I’ve made it 3 times since Easter. Haven’t really changed it up much. First time I didn’t have tomato sauce but used leftover spaghetti sauce and it made it so good
Used chicken sausage and the cheddar broccoli rice o roni with tomato puree instead of sauce as substitutes with fresh veggies. These with a little Cajun seasoning added the bit of flavor it needed the other reviews spoke of. Quick Easy and was a hit with teenage daughter. Win win
It is good as is, but could be better with more spices. Use your creative cooking skills to spice or liven it up!
The sausage gave this dish so much depth and flavor! It was fantastic!
I really enjoyed this and look forward to making it again soon . The change I made with ingredients was adding more cheese. Next time I plan to use less rice also, and I will definitely try this one without the rice.
I loved this recipe. The only changes I made were to the garlic and sausage. I used Cajun spiced andouille smoked sausage and minced garlic. I will definitely make this again.
Was good for a weeknight meal. I par boiled potatoes in chicken broth that I drained, then added the potatoes to the sausage mixture to sauté, used the broth to cook the regular rice, the excess broth was added to the sausage and fresh vegetable mixture for the simmer time. Didn’t have tomato sauce but used up some fresh tomatoes, worked out well with the broth. Had pepper jack vs mozzarella, hubs really liked it. Was a good meal and easy prep after a long day at work.
Bland, added a little sriracha, which helped a bit.
I added yellow pepper as well. And cooked brown rice in rice cooker as it takes brown rice to cook longer and I wanted the whole grain rice for better nutrition. This left sauce to put on the rice in the pan.
I made it but I didn’t put the red peppers in it. It turned out perfect. Tastes great!
Loved it just a few tweeks
I did half smoked sausage and 3 spicy sausage links (casings off and cut up) and added salt and pepper to the sausage while cooking. I used 3 tsp minced garlic (from jar) and 1 full can of tomato sauce. To add flavor I added 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp oregano, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and a little salt and pepper to the sauce/vegetables. I put the lid on top until broccoli was steamed. I cooked the rice separate and served the dish over rice instead of mixing them together. It has great flavor.
Love this recipe, have been making it for years. For any of you that want a little extra kick, a few drops of siracha sauce does wonders!
I made it according to the recipe except my broccoli was fresh and I cooked regular rice in chicken broth. It was somewhat bland but a generous salt and peppering really helped. Maybe some onion powder and other spices could’ve made it into something special. In the end it was quick, easy, and tasted pretty good.
We love this recipe as a starting point. To make this simple & fast, I use SALSA instead of tomato sauce, peppers and onions. Gives it a bit more flavor and eliminates the need for chopping! Otherwise, we follow as directed.
Made it when it first was advertised and loved it then and now. Easy one skillet recepie. Love it.
Very tasty, I did use a different sausage brand but otherwise the meal was made as written. I’ve made this twice and will definitely be making it again.
My family enjoyed this. I always read reviews first so I did double the tomato sauce and added some crushed red pepper. I decided to cook the rice with the rest of the ingredients so added rice and extra liquid to the pan. If you use minute rice, put broccoli in right away. I used basmati so had to cook 18 minutes and added fresh broccoli last 8 minutes. This gave the rice good flavor too. Great 1 pot meal!
So good!
A fairly quick and easy weeknight dinner recipe. I doubled the tomato sauce, used vegetable broth instead of chicken, and sub Tofurky for the sausage (since we are vegetarian). Have also used a vegan italian sausage as well. Ended up with a tasty veggie version of this dish
