I don't know what I did wrong...but this recipe wasn't as good as I expected. Mine was very pink and very beet flavored... I like beets, but if I did it again I would use all carrot juice instead.
I loved this, although I found it a bit dry. I used beet juice because I couldn't find carrot, that might have something to do with the dryness.
I also barbecued teriyaki-marinated tofu and threw that on top. The ginger and teriyaki really took to each other!
If you like ginger, this salad is fantastic! My husband who doesn't care for health food, *loved* this. The integration of sweet and savory components reminds me very much of Indian food. I'll definitely be making this again.
I used carrot juice that I found in the produce section and used two apples instead of one. It was delicious! Even my mom liked it and she normally doesn't care for carrots or peas.
I didn't think this was very salad-like, but it's great whatever it is. I used fresh carrot juice and it gave it this really nice homey carroty smell. I also didn't have enough almonds, so I added cashews as well. I found the combination of ginger, peas, coconut, nuts, and apples kind of odd; I love all the components separately and didn't know how they would work together, but they do! Thanks!
This is the only thing I've ever made from VT that I did NOT like. The flavors just didn't seem to go together and I ended up throwing it out. I make a lot of things from VT and this is the first time I've been disappointed.
I couldn't find pure carrot or beet juice, so I used a carrot/orange blend, and it was amazing!!
This dish was amazing! Very reminiscent of an Indian dish. I will definitely make again!
I found that this salad very good. Perhaps the problem why you did not like it was because the grain must be washed very well before cooking. Sometimes, I might follow a recipt but still add my own touch to it, if too dry I might add more jucie to my liking.
I love this salad. I'm vegan and can not have gluten. I grow my own beets, so I boiled beets for juice and then added cut up beets to salad. I've taken it to a few BBQ's and many people always ask for the recipe.
Made this for dinner tonight, and I loved it! All the flavors come together to an amazing dish. I followed the recipe exactly, and it worked out great for me. I used carrot juice, as I could not find beet juice. I'll keep looking out for that and can't wait to try it in a slightly redder version. :o)
i used either of these juices and adding no more than a cup and tasted great.

My boyfriend LOVED this for a sack lunch as leftovers, I think the flavors melded together well. I used sunflower seeds because it was what I had on hand...I did find that I needed to cook the quinoa longer than I expected, but I'm new at that particular grain, probably just need some practice. Kids, however voted it thumbs down. Ah, well.
Made it today for a brunch w/ friends. Delicious and everyone loved it. I didn't have almonds so I used cashews. I also used straight carrot juice and red quinoa. It made for a chewier texture. Next time I'll add dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds.
Not bad!
I love food and I love to eat, but I can't say that I loved this. The ginger WAY overpowered every other flavor in this recipe. I will reduce the ginger by at least half if I make this again. The only thing that made it palatable to me was adding soy sauce.
