Fast and delicious I substituted almonds. I roasted my own peppers a day a head. This was so easy and fast to make. Quite flavorful however I felt something was missing which is why I rated it Good vs. Great. I think next time I will add more lemon zest. Over all good recipe to make in a pinch. I always the ingredients on hand. Pros: Fast Flavorful Easy
Perfect alone or as a side! Toasting the quinoa makes it very tasty and adds to compliment the dish. The dressing and spices are great compliments
So flavorful So many flavors in here; the veggie broth I used was really dark and rich so it added savory meaty flavors. Toasted quinoa and walnuts gave a nice crunch and nutty flavors. Both of these flavors played well with the tangy bright lemon and tarragon flavors and roasted red peppers. Really easy to make in its entirety the night (or two) before; I just stored it in my fridge and am eating it for lunch right now and will have the second portion tomorrow. Tasty AND healthy; take that Wendy's! Pros: Pretty much everything Cons: Quinoa manages to go everywhere when cooking
Easy and flavorful I doubled the recipe (which worked just fine and served 9 people). I made it all the night before. The recipe says you can make ahead through step 3 but it was no problem to store it overnight once it was already totally assembled--a lot easier that way if you're having a dinner party. Served it room temperature to rave reviews. Pros: fast pantry-based recipe can be doubled
Great healthy salad to have on hand. I was going to cut down on this recipe but it's just as easy to make the whole thing and save some for later. I really changed this up. I did not have red peppers but had lots of fresh veggies so made a mix of cut up green peppers radishes tomatoes green onions and would've added cucumber if I had it. Make sure to toast both the quinoa and the walnuts. Also I didn't read carefully and added my Edamame frozen and it came out fine. Pros: Healthy and easy to customize. Smells like peanut butter when it cooks.
very good will make this again and half the recipe Pros: easy and flavorful Cons: this makes a boatload and the serving size is enormous could easily feed 8 people instead of 4
Delicious complete meal This was such an easy dish to make for a last dinner with my roommates one of whom is a vegan. The flavor combination was awesome and I will definitely make it again. It was a little dry for us so we added a little vinegar which worked well. Pros: tasty super convenient and easy to make filling nutritious Cons: A little dry - we added some vinegar to make it easier to eat
easy to make and the whole family likes this This salad is delicious and you can make it with ingredients that you can keep in your pantry and freezer - ready whenever you don't have time to shop or need a quick potluck option. The only fresh produce needed is a lemon. Pros: this recipe is made with pantry/freezer staples
I though this was okay when I made it. It was even better the next day after it had a chance to sit. I had it at room temperature for lunch and thought it was three times better than when it was hot.
This was a fantastic recipe.... fun to make and delicious!
Loved this recipe! I added cilantro and sliced grilled chicken using Boston Lettuce and rolled it into a wrap. I also used half regular quinoa half red quinoa for color and taste. Refreshing and delicious. This is a great dish highly recommend it!! Super fast and easy.
I topped this off with shrimp quickly sauted in garlic and tarragon and it really makes it a full meal. Also agree with the last comment that it tastes even better the next day!
I thought this was a really different type of quinoa salad. Easy to make and nice flavour plus it's so nourishing. Never would have thought to combine the ingredients. Look forward to having it tomorrow if it tastes better the next day!
I love this recipe! It has become a staple in our house and even the 7 year old loves it! I like it cold or hot and sometimes add chicken or shrimp.
This is delicious. I made it to take to a picnic and it holds up really well on a warm day. It was tasty warm and at room temperature. It's also very easy to make. Give it a shot!
LOVED this. The tarragon really works well. Only thing I did differenly was to toast the quinoa after rinsing it.
Great! Loved this! The lemon-tarragon vinaigrette was perfect with the quinoa. Will defintely make this again--and recommend to my vegan friends! Pros: Few ingredients delicious taste easy to prepare Cons: None!
Tastier than I expected! This was soooo delicious and I didn't feel guilty about eating it! I've never toasted my quinoa before but it really did give it a different flavor and the jarred red peppers really add to the dish. I think it would be good if you made it with peas in place of the edemame too. I served it on top of baby spinach. Really quick easy and healthy dinner. I'm going to recommend it to my vegan brother. Pros: Easy Fast Yummy Healthy Cons: Hmmm...none?
