I’m always changing this salad up. Here I used tomato, zucchini and olives for a Greek-inspired salad. Try adding a few more favorite fresh veggies you know your family will love. —Elizabeth Lubin, Huntington Beach, California
3/4 cup canned garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 medium tomato, finely chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped Greek olives
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add quinoa and garlic; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until quinoa is lightly browned. Stir in zucchini and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed, 12-15 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients; heat through.

This was super yummy and made a lot of food! I put a little olive oil in it at the end to make it a little more favorable. Very tasty!

This was just okay. It made a lot for four servings. Felt like we were eating it forever and ended up throwing some away.

Very yummy dish and rather quick to make. I didn't add the feta however since I wasn't sure if the family would finish the entire batch and didn't want to risk having it spoil. I was also very pleased that my kids and hubby enjoyed it and even had 2-3 servings. I'm planning to pack it as a cold salad for the kids' lunches tomorrow. Good and healthy recipe!

Haven't tried as yet, but I will not cook the zucchini with the quinoa but will add with rest of ingred. It is chopped and won't take long to heat- after all, zucchini is great when it is not overcooked and even a little crisp.

Sorry not a fan! As noted below there is not much taste to this dish and by the time the Quinoa cooked the zucchini was mush. Won't be making this again. Too bad!
