Made this tonight… it was YUMMY – thank you! Hubby wasn’t too sure about it, but said it tasted good. I wasn’t sure if it should be served warm or cold, but I thought the flavor would be better cold. I did add some green onion and substituted almond for the pine nuts and used crasins for the dried fruit since those are the items I always have on hand for chicken salad sandwiches.
@Dana – you really don’t necessarily need a protein as Quinoa, although a starch is high in protein.
Can’t wait to make this for my parents as they will be all over it.

I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious!! I used red quinoa, and I added diced chicken poached in butter and wine, as well as a tomato. But I have to say, it cost me more than $5. The quinoa alone was $3, the pine nuts another $3. I’d say all in all it was $10-$12 but it served my husband and I for two meals, so still a good deal.

We’ll be adding it to the regular rotation, so thanks for that!
