My dinner party guests loved this and so did I. Will definitely make again.. I did double the quinoa though as it looked so little quantity in my salad bowl!!
awesome Very easy. First time cooking with Quinoa. Might add orange segments next time?
For those that are having trouble with the quinoa, I always find soaking them overnight before using them in recipes helps a lot with reducing cooking time. Just weigh the amount you need in a jug and cover with water, leaving them overnight on the bench or somewhere out of the way. Might be worth a try.
I feel awful I posted a recipe that didn't work for others and I'm hoping you'll have more success (if you try again) since I have edited.
I've cooked this dish again because in all honesty I can't remember what I did after cooking the quinoa (and my result). After 17 mins I had water left too so would have had to drain and although quinoa was cooked, it had a slight crunch. I cooked for further 8 mins (total 25 mins) and water absorbed and quinoa much softer.
I'd be very interested to hear feedback on cooking quinoa from others. Obviously I'm not an expert but still enjoyed this dish personally.
oh and this time I added steamed asparagus and baby spinach.

I have just had the same problem...wondering what went wrong but what to do also???
Hi,
I just tried to make this salad but the quinoa was still full of water, way too much liquid. Did I miss something?
Oh yey Amy, so pleased you enjoyed this salad. I was secretly excited about it too and ooh, might have to try making it again and serve it with some fish. Wishing my 2 year old daughter would give it a chance but at least it got my hubby's approval too. Thanks
