There was no Quinoa in my supermarket, but I used two "Near East brand Tabouleh Salad" mixes in a box. Great recipe, very fresh and cool on a warm evening, thank you!

Mmmm yummy! I made this to take to a small cookout and everyone really liked it. I even got a request for the recipe. The only problem I had was that the quinoa didn't absorb all of the chicken stock, even though it was done cooking. But I just drained the extra off and it was fine. I used slightly more feta (had a 4 oz pkg) and an orange bell pepper instead of the red & green. Also had to add just a touch of salt, but otherwise it was perfect. Thanks Fluffy!

This was my first time cooking quinoa, and now I am enthusiastic about working my way through all the others on the site. I toasted the rinsed quinoa before cooking it in the microwave with the chicken stock, and it cooked perfectly into dry, fluffy, individual grains. The salad was delicious, and well suited to a make-ahead meal.
