By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site.

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Quinoa Salad with Spinach and Pomegranate - Not Enough Cinnamon, Vegan Quinoa Salad with Spinach & Pomegranate (Gluten-free), and Quinoa Shrimp Mango Pomegranate Spinach Salad with White Balsamic Vinaigrette are very similar to this recipe.

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are great choices for Salad. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Skater Girl Limited Edition Chardonnay with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Skater Girl Limited Edition Chardonnay

A light golden hue appears as aromas of Meyer lemon zest,sweet-cream butter, hints of parmesan cheese, golden apple, and yellow flowers meet the taster. A velvety full body with flavors of Bartlett pear and Georgia peach leads to a mouth-watering, lively finish.
