MoNj, I mixed your quinoa salad recipes and it turned out great!

Here's what I did:

I boiled 1 cup of quinoa in a vegetable bullion. When it was ready boiled and chilled, I added 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint, a cup of cubed cucumber, a cup+a handfull small, cherry tomatoes, a cup of chick peas (ready to use from a box) and 2 chopped spring onions. I added salt, pepper and the juice from one lemon. It turned out absolutely terrific. Thanks for posting the recioes that lead me to this - I'm definitely making this again smileys/smile.gif

I just made it too, but used marinated artichoke hearts, tomatoes, three types,

baby cukes, green onions, and Israeli Couscous because it is what I had available in quantity. Also used avocado oil along with fresh lemon juice. I am thawing cooked shrimp and will toss that in, as well. Serving with green beans from Farmer's Market for a nice, light summer dinner.

Glad you enjoyed it. Sounds like lunch today. smileys/smile.gif

I always make my quinoa (or any grain, lentil rice etc) using either vegetable or chicken broth. I forgot to mention that, so I'm glad you added that tip. smileys/smile.gif
Try some crumbled feta--really makes the dish.

Karen--I like all of your add ins.
