This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use a little more spice.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before, and it was even better the next day.

I love the addition of dried cranberries and pistachios. They add a nice crunch and sweetness to the salad.

This curried quinoa salad was a hit at my last potluck! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the quinoa was cooked just right. I'll definitely be making this again.
