If I could have my ways, it could be called the "Cranberry Walnut Apple Goat Cheese Balsamic Quinoa Salad" and believe me, it is so good! The goat cheese and walnuts have their own natural fats in them, so adding an oil to the dressing is not necessary. You can add some if you like, though. I think without it, it brings a beautiful punch to break through all the creaminess. This salad is so full of textures, it's really hard to stop eating!
