The nice thing about this salad is that it can be made in advance (without the salad dressing) and can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve, if you wish to avoid that last-minute chopping before dinner.
Pomegranate gives a sweet and crunchy texture to the salad while the mint leaves give it a refreshing flavor. This salad is gluten free, as it contains quinoa, which also an excellent source of protein and fiber.
