  Will soon try this as I've never tasted quinoa and I love the subtle creamy flavour of feta!

  Had this for lunch today I cooked the quinoa then let it cool completely before adding the rest of the ingredients, I also added celery and very finely diced onion - lovely and filling. next time I would probably add the onions when frying the spices as they were a bit harsh and overpowered things but nice all the same.

  Lovely healthy meal, especially with the creamy feta. We just added pomegranate or watermelon goes nice too.

  This sounds lovely, my husband and I are starting to try more vegetarian food so this sounds like a nice lunch dish.

  Lovely recipe, I added celery, spring onion, avocado, beetroot and green cabbage to make a delicious dinner. Also used blue cheese instead of feta. Lovely - take a look for yourself at my instagram pic http://instagram.com/p/UHX-wouAhh/

  Chucked in some chopped up garlic, red chilli, black olives, cherry tomatoes and red pepper. Adding some paprika really made a difference too. Keeps for days, so useful when batch-cooking lunches for the week.
