Join the discussionHi Lisa! Ten minutes after spotting this recipe the quinoa is on my stove as I type this. All of the ingredients per chance are in my pantry. I doubled the recipe to make fewer lunches 🙂 and it uses exactly the end of the quinoa I bought last month for the quinoa egg bake in April’s veg menu–way to go OAMM! I’m making extra dressing so I can add in the salad fixin’s sitting in my fridge (radishes & cucumbers) along with everything else. The only change I made was adding a single bouillon cube to the quinoa, which for a double quantity would usually call for 2 cubes to give a bouillon flavour. I think DH will like it better this way. I’ll serve it alongside a simple white bean-sweet onion-tomato salad to make a complete protein. Thanks again!
Lisa, this blew me away! It’s amazing that something so easy to make is so incredibly tasty. It was bursting with flavour, so good that I packed it into two instead of three freezer bags because I know DH and I will want to eat this alone as a lunchtime salad. Wow! Perfect for picnic season too.
This recipe was awesome. Only changes I made was a bit of salt and pepper in the dressing, and added some sliced green onion for color. I made a double batch or our church potluck and everyone loved it!!! Thanks for a great keeper recipe.
