I like to take this salad to potlucks because it feeds a lot of people, and it's so easy to make. It's best when made a day ahead so the flavors can blend.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I always have a bunch of roasted vegetables in my fridge, so this is a great way to use them up.

The salad was easy to make, but it didn't wow me. I think I'll stick to my regular salad recipe.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better with a more flavorful dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of quinoa, but I loved it in this salad. It was the perfect complement to the roasted vegetables.
