  This is a most incredible salad! This was my first time using quinoa and what a way to do it! I didn't have red wine vinegar so substituted for a Balsamic/fig vinegar. I didn't put salt & pepper (which is unusual for me) because it tasted to good without. Hubby loved it so much too. thanks! - 1/3/09

  I have made this salad twice now. It keeps well for a few days in the fridge and makes a great addition to my lunch staples. - 12/9/08

  I'm so glad! I love it -- and the red and green actually make it a pretty festive side dish too! Thanks for your comment.

  This recipe is DELICIOUS! I have been a fan of quinoa for many years, mainly for it's nutritional benefits, versatility and yummy taste. All the ingredients compliment each other wonderfully, from color, to texture, to taste. Simply WONDERFUL! PS No salt needed! - 3/19/13

  I did not have these ingredients - but it gave me confidence to try different Quinoa salads - a bit of sweet (e.g some currants), a + fresh (e.g. some salad veges & herbs), + crunch (e.g. chopped nuts) + zing (e.g. lemon juice).
  Mix & match based on what's you have - but not too many ingredients. - 11/10/12

  Fabulous! Another perfect dish for the holidays with the green and red colors. My husband loved it - we're eating at least one vegetarian dish every week and this one was the best so far! - 11/21/09

  My daughter and I like to make this when she visits, but my adult son doesn't care for it. I switch the quinoa over to brown rice for him when he eats with us, they both are good! - 12/4/15

  This was fantastic and I didn't even need to use the almonds. I normally cook my quinoa in vegetable broth instead of water, using just enough to be fully absorbed and not bother with straining it. I wasn't sure how it would turn out so I used half water and half broth and it was delicious. - 6/25/15

  I am wondering what you do with the seeds, I like pomegranate but usually spit out the seeds, kind of like watermelon, the bitter taste of the seeds plus the crunch does not enhance the dish at all - 12/4/14

  Absolutely loved this recipe it not only tasted good but looked great too. The last time I cooked Quinoa it was a disaster! but this time a masterpiece, thank you so much for giving me the confidence to try again. I'm vegetarian so this will become one of my main sources of protein from now on. - 1/12/14

  This recipe was so tasty. The only change was no salt and didn't use the almonds (but might add that the next time). I loved the unique combination of tastes. My first time using quinoa too. A great recipe to start with. Can't wait to see how my family responds to this one!! - 12/30/13

  HI, can someone help me figure out pomegranates?!? I purchased my first one ever, was very excited, scooped out the seeds and tried to eat them, but they were so "hully" - like getting an oatmeal hull. Is that normal? Do I just not like pomegranates? I feel like I am missing something! - 1/19/11
