Excellent idea, I love the flexibility, and salads i can make and eat out of the fridge for a few days.

To make it less quimoa-heavy, I add 1 cucumber (halved and sliced), an extra pepper, some feta cheese, and I substitute half of the parsley for chopped mint.

Once, I tried tossing the chickpeas in oil and spices and toasting them in a pan. It was OK but not really worth the effort – nice when the salad was fresh, but it didn’t offer too much difference in texture after it had been refrigerated. Denver Arborist

Actually, I think the lemon is what sets it apart from the others. I love the tart lemony flavor and I didn't find it bland at all.

Don't know why this got such high reviews - it was very bland and had too much lemon. May be better if you add sauteed onion and less lemon.

I haven't made this yet but was hoping to use fresh artichoke. How would I prep the artichoke to use in this recipe?

recipe was good but the serving size is really small, maybe this should be listed under condiments.

I'm new to quinoa and wanted to try a recipe with items I already had in my kitchen (minus the lemon peel). I decided this was going to be it. The only thing I changed was I added some red bell pepper and some chicken but only a little since I'm new to this and didn't know how it would effect the taste. It looked nice with the little pepper pieces in it & most importantly my family loved it!!! (I'm feeding it to my 1yr old now) Plus I liked my additions so much I added much more later like a half a cup of red bell pepper and half a breast of chicken. Yeah!!! Liked it so much, I tried another 3 different versions. Since I ran out of the white quinoa, I tried the red. It was good but liked the white better. The original recipe with the additions I noted is my favorite version.

This is the best quinoa recipe I've come across! I used marinated artichoke hearts instead of frozen and that added such a great flavor. Will definitely make this again and again!

Well my bad. I had it in my mind that I wanted to cook up a bunch of quinoa to have in the fridge to add to this and that this week but I had also saved this recipe awhile ago. Needless to say I not only cooked up my quinoa in advance and thawed out the artichokes but I also headed out to the kitchen about 9 PM to make this. THEREFORE all I did was mix all the ingredients together, although I omitted the chicken broth entirely. I, too, used a bit of black quinoa in with the regular; scallions in place of the spring onions, dried thyme. After mixing I added enough olive oil to my liking. I made it tonight for tomorrow's lunch and I think it will be great!! I will follow the recipe next time :)

I really liked this! The flavours were good. I had black quinoa on hand, and that really added something in terms of colour and vibrancy.

The salad tasted ok but it was the most unattractive dish I have ever made. It was a very unappetizing color. I added tomato to brighten it up. The picture here shows a more coarse lemon zest so maybe that would help, too.
