    Excellent! I substituted green onion for the red onion and added a little chopped, fresh mint. Very yummy! - 11/6/08

    Great Recipe. I added 1/4 cup each of red and green peppers, 1/4 cup celery and then served it in 1/2 a pita as a sandwich. It was awesome. Also added 1/2 can of black beans - 10/19/08

    I mixed the quinoa with winter wheat berries and used the veggies from Greek salad--makes a wonderful dish, and I served it over lo-fat cottage cheese, which makes it really rich tasting, higher protein, and a nice lunch - 7/25/08

    I thought the quinoa would take away some taste, but it only adds to it, so I will be making this recipe only for tabouleh in the future! Thanks for a GREAT recipe. - 5/4/08

    I really like this recipe. I never had Quinoa until this. I just squirt some lemon juice right on it and mix. I'm not sure why people are complaining about the cals in olive oil, there is hardly any and i just pout a little on and mix it in, maybe a tbs if that. Just enough to make it not all stick. - 4/7/13
