Great easy recipe. Like other reviewers my tweaks included adding avocado and tomatoes. For the dressing I skipped the honey but added ground cumin and a bit of chili powder. Read More

Beautiful color and flavorul. The ratio of quinoa to dressing was off. I added almost another cup of Quinoa to balance the amount of dressing. Next time I would just add half the dressing to flavor. Read More
