Red Quinoa Salad

Served this with pan seared ahi tuna, delicious!

This salad is fast, easy, and delicious.  Minor alterations: whole cucumber, a pint of grape tomatoes sliced in half, and fresh basil instead of oregano.  It's a crowd pleaser.  

I made this to bring as my lunch everyday to work this week. Delicious! For added veggies I used a whole cucumber and 5 tomatoes. I also doubled the dressing. And I added 1 lb shredded chicken. To cook the chicken I seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic. Then I cooked on 1 side in some olive oil in a skillet for a few minutes, turned them over, added 1/4 cup water, and put a lid on the skillet. I cooked for a few more minutes, then once cooked, I removed the chicken, let it cool, and shredded it into the salad. Super easy and I would make it again!

I made this thinking I'd be the only one in the house to eat it. The first and last time I made quinoa for the family my husband made it clear he did not care for the stuff. I served this salad over a bed of kale and he went on and on about how delicious it was - then ate a second helping! Oh yes, and I loved it too even though I did not have all of the fresh herbs. I'll be making this again and again.

I've made this several times and everyone raves about it. In fact I rarely have leftovers. I added/changed a few things (personal preference). I added 2 cloves chopped garlic, 2 tablespoons of fresh basil chopped, and I substituted balsamic vinegar for the red wine vinegar. I also sprinkled more balsamic vinegar on mine after dishing it up. My family is addicted to balsamic vinegar so don't feel like you need to add it.

Tasty salad. I added some green onions, red bell pepper and some greek seasoning. I made this salad to accompany a grilled London broil that I sliced into thin strips. It made a nice lunch the following day.

This is an easy and delicious side dish. A new favorite to take to potluck events...it gets rave reviews every time...thank you!

I made this for company and it got rave reviews. I changed a few things... omitted the mint and used fresh basil instead of oregano. I thought it was a little dry after sitting, so I added some Lemon Balsamic vinegar and a little EVOO to it. Everyone went back for seconds. It also was good for leftovers. I had some cooked corn on the cob leftover and I cut this off the cob and added it. I WOULD MAKE IT AGAIN.

Very good! I roasted the red Quinoa for 5 minutes with a little olive oil before cooking, it gave it great flavor.

I made this for lunch.I left out the chickpeas (personal preference), added bell pepper & onion. This is a keeper.

The only thing this is missing is a little spice. I took this to work and we added some crushed red pepper. Otherwise, wonderful!

Easy to make and soooooo good!

So yummy! Even the kids ate it! Will definitely make this again!
