I was pleasantly surprised by this dish. I thought it was going to be super bland because it has no dressing, but I found it to be flavorful in mild sort of way, but it was definitely not bland. It felt like a healthy, light meal, while still being adequately filling.
The only modifications that I made were that I roasted the pork in a slow cooker the day before and shredded it, and I cooked the quinoa in chicken bullion for more flavor.
