I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used cucumbers instead. The salad was still delicious!

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it would be better with a more flavorful dressing.

I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but I really enjoyed this salad. The roasted vegetables and feta cheese really helped to balance out the flavor of the quinoa.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I added some grilled chicken to make it a complete meal.
