This salad is way too expensive to make. I could never justify spending that much money on a salad.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out mushy. I think I overcooked the quinoa.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This salad is a bit too tart for my taste. I might add a little bit of honey to balance out the flavors next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the pistachios. It was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of pomegranate, so I used dried cranberries instead. It was still delicious.
