    I make something like this only with tofu not shrimp. Makes a delicious lunch!

    This salad looks delish but I'll be honest, quinoa scares me. Why? I have no clue, could be that it's always been a difficult rice for me to cook.

    This looks so yummy. I love salads and I always have quinoa or couscous in my cabinet, so this is perfect. what an easy lunch or weeknight dinner. Thanks for sharing

    Chelle - do you have a rice cooker? I just make my quinoa in there and it comes out perfect every time and I don't have a fancy rice cooker, just one I think I paid about $20 for maybe 6-7 years ago.

    This looks like a great salad. The Hubs and I became pescatarians this year and we're looking for great non-meat meals!

    Looks really good, I'd probably trade it out for rice though. Thanks for the recipe!

    For those who never tried quinoa, it's easy to work with and tastes great. It's definitely packed with more nutrition than rice (though I love rice too!). Thanks -- we're always looking for healthy, quick recipes. I've bookmarked this one to try -- once the deep freeze is over!

    I love quinoa. I am always looking for new ways to make it.
