I'm not a huge fan of salads, but this one is really good. The dressing is really flavorful and the grapes and prunes add a nice sweetness.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some chopped walnuts or pecans next time for some extra flavor.

This quinoa salad was a refreshing and delicious summer meal. I used red grapes instead of green and added a handful of slivered almonds for extra crunch. Definitely a keeper!
