    Another winner…my picky family wasn’t interested, but I savored every bite for my lunches this week!

    This was tasty…after I had to nix the dried fruit. (Don’t kill me! Ha!)

    I was abruptly reminded I was human when I realized I’s used the right grain but made the wrong recipe! It turned out pretty well anyway!

    Very lovely. A hint of spring on a snowy day :-)

    This is MADE for summer barbecue season – definitely more-ish!!

    http://redskitchendiaries.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/french-fridays-quinoa-fruit-and-nut-salad/

    next time, I’m going to faff around and add a little feta to the mix for some savouriness …

    • Adriana April 1, 2011 at 8:43 PM #

      Feta sounds like a fantastic addition! I succumbed to the potential for ‘where’s the meat’ and added chicken.

    I added chickpeas and Havarti cheese to make this salad heartier. I will definitely be making this one again!

    I served it as lettuce wraps for something different. Loved it.

    We enjoyed this and I ate it all week for lunch! I’m off to Vegas for the weekend, so I’ll check out everyone’s blogs next week. Have a great one!

    Not something I was overly fond of but glad I made it. I learned a great deal about quinoa!

  20. Newfinmysoup April 1, 2011 at 10:33 AM #

    I adapted ours a bit, using fresh oranges, almonds, spinach, asparagus, and parsley, and served it with thick, juicy lamb chops and harissa sauce. Looking forward to mixing with other ingredients!

    I haven’t participated in FFwD in a while but I had to try this recipe. My variation uses Red Inca quinoa for added nuttiness and color.

    It was good, but I think next time I make it – it will be better!

    My husband and I both loved this recipe. This is going into regular rotation at our house!

    Added vinaigrette over warm quinoa for better absorption, then the fruits. Toasted sliced almonds added just before serving for extra crunch. We had it for lunch today as the nor’easter blew in…..loved it and will make again.

    I really enjoyed this salad! Will definitely make again! I did add a bit of cinnamon…I thought it needed to be kicked up a notch!

  34. Diethood April 1, 2011 at 1:01 PM #

    Loved it! The day after it was even better.

    Very unusual and a fun adventure. We have both agreed to experiment with the rest of the quinoa on hand (thank you Costco for selling such large bags :)

  36. ComeUndone April 1, 2011 at 1:25 PM #

    Good basic recipe that invites lots of creativity. I made mine with a Moroccan flavour with dried cherries, apricots, figs, pistachios, almonds, black sesame seeds. And of course, pomegranate molasses!

    If I wasn’t part of this group, I’m not sure that I would’ve tried this recipe. However, I’m glad that I did as I’ve now found a new favorite. At the end of my post, I give my ideas on how I will create a ‘new’ dish for the summer using fresh vegetables. Can’t wait to try that, too!

    Really!

  43. gaaarp April 1, 2011 at 6:24 PM #

    Think you can’t find a parallel between quinoa and “The Last Temptation of Christ”?

    Think again! http://gaaarp.wordpress.com/2011/03/31/quinoa-fruit-and-nut-salad-ffwd/

  44. speckleofdirt April 1, 2011 at 6:28 PM #

    I’m loving the fact that Dorie offers you the option of making variations on her trusted recipes. I’m looking forward to making this again and punching it up with more of a Citrus taste with Grand Marnier and Zest!

  45. Judy22 April 1, 2011 at 8:26 PM #

    This is definitely a recipe I will make again.

    We enjoyed this recipe. I made mine with raisins, apricots, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, parsley and cilantro.

    Good dish. And so flexable. Just use up the extra nuts, fruit and herbs and you have a great meal. Thanks Dorie

    Love a meatless high protein meal that seems to be filled with dozens of flavors!

    I’m still envious of gaaarp’s dried fruits though! Amazingly beautiful!

  53. onewetfoot April 2, 2011 at 2:55 AM #

    We had this for dinner tonight with greens and yogurt – it’s a lovely meal all on its own. Looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow.

    Sorry – I’m late again but I’m here! Made it for breakfast (pattern developing if you remember my linguine post). Didn’t absolutely love it but liked it a lot and can’t wait for the flavors to keep developing. Definitely has me sold on continuing to work with quinoa in various ways. Versatile and oh so healthy. Have a great weekend everyone!

    Um, really loved this one!!! I think it was more than 4 servings, but I’ll be enjoying leftovers :) Served with salad and yogurt as suggested. Really felt healthy when I was eating it!!!

    Like Kayte…playing catch up! I could learn to enjoy this regularly as a salad addition! Maybe seasoned a little differently…??
