This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fewer cranberries. Otherwise, it was a good salad.

I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but I really enjoyed this salad. The sweet potatoes and cranberries helped to balance out the quinoa's slightly bitter flavor. I will definitely be making this salad again.
