❤ "The BBQ Ranch Quinoa Salad" Story From Pinned to Pincomplished.

BBQ Ranch Quinoa Salad 

"Hands down ranch and bbq is one of the best sauce flavor combinations out there" - Tiffany

♕

I had such HIGH hopes for this recipe.

And if I had thought about the quinoa part like I always do, my BBQ Ranch Quinoa Salad would have come out just like Tiffany's.

But I forgot to make the quinoa part earlier in the day, 

so the quinoa would be cool.

And so I had hot quinoa that I had no choice but to throw into the salad and I got a hot mushy mix and lost all my pretty color when everything kinda mushed together when I tossed it.

It was still good, but damn,  that kind of shit pisses me off.

I could have had the exact, crispy colorful salad like in the picture.

I like when things look like the picture.

I just do.

That's never going to change.

Also, I added red cabbage to the recipe and it looks like Tiffany forgot to put that in her recipe on her blog, 

but it's CLEARLY in the picture.

And I LOVE red cabbage.

I love the color. I love the CRUNCH.

In case you didn't know this about me...

I love ALLL the CRUNCHY things.
