This recipe was inspired by ingredients in my pantry and a recent fascination with Middle Eastern cuisine. Between the sweetness of the currants and onions, salty/nuttiness of the pistachios and quinoa and freshness of the mint, this dish fully satisfies the palate. Given that the whole dish takes about 15 minutes and most of the ingredients can be kept in your pantry, it's a great go-to, quickie to have on hand. Sometimes if I'm really feeling lazy and don't want to go to the market, I don't use mint and it's still VERY delicious! But of course the mint adds a wonderful fresh flavor. This salad is great served at any temperature and lasts up to a week.
