    Made this tonight - was a lovely summer supper :) My only advice: remeber how salty halloumi is when you season the quinoa/dressing! I also added half a cucumber, cubed.

    A very nice accompaniment for some spicy roast chicken. I don't think it would make a very good main course in itself though. Will definitely make this again.

    I also used cherry tomates, and a whole red onion sliced (we like onions). It was my first introduction to quinoa and I will definetly be doing this recipe again. Very tasty, filling (served with coriander nan bread) but not stodgy. Might try adding coriander leaves instead of parsley next time. Quinoa is a great alternative to rice or couscous.

    Its OK - but easier to make better - just add chopped pepper, chilli, olives etc to liven up the quinoa. I also griddled the tomatoes and hallumi.

    I make this a couple of times a week as it seems to have become a staple. The quinoa is quite expensive so I use half the amount recommended and it's enough, everybody gets a decent amount and with the pita it makes quite a filling meal. Easy to make and usually only takes 25 minutes from starting to getting it on the table, quite relaxing to cook.

    Absolutely delicious! So easy to make and so tasty, and very generous portions. After reading a few of the comments, I added black olives and cucumber to bump up the veg content. Delicious again the next day too for lunch. A great way to get more quinoa into my diet, will definitely make it again.

    This is lovely and I have made it tons of times, mostly with couscous as I have that ready to hand more often.

    Can someone help me? Every time I cook quinoa it turns out a slushy mess.. what am I doing wrong? I'm cooking it according to packet instructions. Lovely flavours, just disastrous quinoa...

    We love this! I cook the quinoa in my rice cooker with chicken or veggie broth and it always turns out great. If I'm in a big rush sometimes I use the oil packed sundried tomatoes to save on time. I also add some chopped up cucumber like some of the other reviews mentioned.

    Very tasty but quite calorific if you add the pitta bread and greek yogurt. Would make less of the quinoa salad next time.

    This was superb! I added some cucumber and avocado to the mix, and served it on a bed of mixed salad leaves, which helped to add a bit of texture and made it more of a meal.
