  The flavours of this salad are lovely but I had a bit of an issue with the quinoa - it was good before I rinsed it but then it became too wet. I think it would be better to have enough time to let it cool without having to rinse it but that might take a while... Will give it a second try sometime. Definitely tasty - a good combination of ingredients.

  This is one of the few recipes that I made exactly as it dictates, and it is AMAZING! Quinoa is very healthy, and the addition with the spring onions and feta etc makes it perfect for a summery snack, or even a packed lunch for the next day.

  I was quite worried about cooking the quinoa, but it actually turned out really well. I enjoyed the slightly nutty flavour and the vinaigrette really played against the creamy feta and courgette. I loved it the next day cold as well, however my boyfriend (who loved it warm) said it lost something when it was cold and couldn't eat it. That's the only reason a star is missing, but otherwise I would really suggest giving it a go.

  I really didn't like this. I wasn't keen on the texture of the raw courgette and the chilli was so overpowering that i couldn't eat the whole thing. I'd suggest using less chilli!

  This recipe is lovely and filling and makes a super healthy lunch by itself! I think it would be great as a salad for a BBQ as well.

  I used white wine vinegar rather than red wine vinegar as that's all I had and it worked fine, but I added 2 tbsp rather than just 1 as I couldn't really taste it.

  I used lemon flavored Olive Oil and substituted the red wine vinegar with Balsamic Vinegar. My husband is not fond of Quinoa, yet raved about this salad. Would definitely make it again and will be sharing the recipe with friends and family.

  Really tasty - very quick and easy to make. Just eaten for my lunch and will have the rest tomorrow - probably adding in a splash of lemon juice and some mint too (as per suggestions below).

  Absolutely fabulous - I used a little bit less feta cheese just to try and cut down on the fat contents. Makes a fab lunchbox for work the next day, giving the flavours even more chance to mix

  I sliced and fried the courgettes with the chilli and mixed these with the other ingredients while still warm - amazing!

  This is AWESOME! I make this all the time. Very refreshing & "clean" tasting. I sometimes make it with rice & that works very well too. It's great to take to work for lunch.

  Very tasty recipe and easy to prepare the evening before for lunchboxes. Used coriander instead of parsley as that was available.

  Really tasty! Even my carnivorous husband enjoyed it and he wasn't expecting to! Omitted the parsley as we didn't have any.

  Surprisingly good. Used a bit less chilli than suggested but worked brilliantly for a nice change!
