This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then eat it for lunch throughout the week.

I love the pop of color that the spinach adds to this salad. It's a really visually appealing dish.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I always have some leftover quinoa in my fridge, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The quinoa was a little undercooked for my taste. I'll be sure to cook it for a few more minutes next time.

This salad was a little too bland for me. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I used a different type of cheese in this salad (mozzarella) and it turned out great. This salad is very versatile.

I added some grilled chicken to this salad for extra protein. It was a great addition!

The dressing is the star of the show in this salad. It's tangy, flavorful, and perfectly complements the quinoa and spinach.

This quinoa salad was a hit at my potluck! The flavors of the quinoa, spinach, feta, and dressing all came together perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
