Excellent Quick quinoa! We loved the lemon and soy flavouring, and served this along side salmon. I also did not add the sunflowers but made all else as written. Thanks for posting.

We did not do sunflowers or parsley. We added black beans and carrots, also heirloom tomatos and yellow grape tomatos. I also added the dry italian salad dressing, couple of tablespoons. Topped with green onions. DELICIOUS! WOW! and easy. I might not do the soy sauce, and do vinegar, red wine.

Very good quinoa salad. The soy, lemon, and garlic added a nice fresh and tangy flavor. This is mostly quinoa, though I would have liked some more vegetables in it, so for my second serving I added some more carrots, chopped tomatoes, and fresh ground pepper and found it perfect. Great way to eat healthy!

This was a great recipe for my first experience cooking quinoa. I didn't have any parsley on hand, but it still turned out delicious, and my boyfriend loved it too. I did use the advice that someone else posted and preped the quinoa by rinsing well to remove the bitter outter coating and then toasted it in a pan.
