This was really tasty. However I did feel it was missing a little something. Next time I may try cooking the quinoa in stock. I also left out the raisins. - 16 Sep 2012
Delicious even without the tomatoes and I added some sweetcorn as my husband is on a nightshade free diet - 11 May 2015
I recently found and fell in love with quinoa and have been making all sorts of dishes with it. This one did not disappoint! I wasn't able to find tomatoes I was happy with, so I instead used grape tomatoes. I also cut the radishes into smaller chunks os that you could get more of everything in each bite. I took the salad to my dad's house for a Labor Day bbq this weekend and everybody loved it! It's really flavorful and refreshing- I wasn't sure how the mint would go with everything, but it really is a perfect blend of flavors. I will be making it again and again. - 06 Sep 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
