I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more feta cheese. Yum!

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of quinoa, but I'm so glad I did! The quinoa was cooked perfectly and the dressing was flavorful and light. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love that this salad is so versatile. I've added grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and even fruit to it, and it's always delicious.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish for busy weeknights. I usually double the recipe and have leftovers for lunch the next day.
