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. &mdash;Elizabeth Lubin, Huntington Beach, California

I didnt have basil, or feta cheese  i did add chopped broccoli, will have this for a side with my grilled chicken for dinner tonight ...  I did not add my veggies and garbanzo beans untill after the quinoa was cooked  removed from burner and let set covered..

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.

Oh wow, was this one a fabulous surprise...family loved it!  Only change was to add a little minced onion and carrots with the garlic.

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!

Very light and healthy, easy to make.  This is a favorite with my family!

This was pretty good, but I think it would be better as a cold salad rather than a warm side dish... If I make it again, I would add some red onion or scallions and some type of vinaigrette.  My daughter really seemed to enjoy it, but something just wasn't quite right for me.

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

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!

Needs a little seasoning and cut down the water.
