" I am not sure where I got this recipe but it was with the huge bunch I have to post here on Zazz. It is very very tasty. Great for a picnic. If you haven't tried Quinoa do try it. Very healthy and really tasty. I don't know what to compare it with. It is gluten free, low in fat and has great protein. Follow cooking instructions on the carton. Combine whatever herbs you like. I have not included the cook time for the quinoa - do it ahead so it is cooled. I like to sprinkle some sweet chopped onion on top when I serve it"
