Just made this tuna salad, and it was wonderful. We ate over salad greens and drizzled with sesame-ginger dressing. Tasted like sushi salad. Thanks so much for this recipe!

I love this! I did not have any tuna so used a can of salmon and also had no wasabi powder so mixed some creamed horseradish with the mayo. It was wonderful. I will be making this often!

Made this tonight for a quick dinner, as I had to go back to work for the night shift. Very easy and fast to me. Not sure if the hubby liked it, but he ate it. Will make again. Didn't use wasabi this time. Not sure where to buy it, but will try it when I do find it.

This is so easy & tastes wonderful! I would definitely suggest running the ingrediants through to count your own nutrition info as (with many quinoa recipes,) the calorie count appears to be for the same amount of uncooked quinoa as opposed to cook. (Dramatically reduing the calories in this yummy-ummy dish!) Enjoy!

I thought the name of this recipe was a little over the top, but now that I have tried it, WOW! Tuna has been transformed. I doubled it and thought that it still needed a little more wasabi. That is a matter of taste. I did read other reviews that added different ingredients. I have no doubt they would be great, but for now, I am so happy that we have a great, low fat, nutritious version of tuna salad. Try it. You will like it!!

It was just alright. I will try cooking the quinoa on the stove-top next time for better water absorption and texture instead of the microwave method. Opted not to use the wasabi (didn't have any anyway) and used a dash or two of cayenne powder. I highly recommend Hellman's mayo (I used Kraft mayo and I think that's why it didn't turn out so well)and adding other veggies like shredded carrot and cabbage.

A fantastic and tasty recipe. The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly and it was great. Today I switched the wasabi for dijon mustard, and the tuna for canned turkey breast meat. Also tasty... just goes to show that you can basically put in any meat and/or veggies you want and it will work out. A nice way to learn to use quinoa in cooking.

LOVE this one..The only thing I didn't care for was the tomato. It made the tuna a little intense..

I'm not sure how to really rate this recipe. Based on the reviews, I should have really loved this one but to my disappointment, it wasn't that good. My dish turned out with a very bitter taste and that was BEFORE I added the quinoa. Now, I know from cooking quinoa before that you have to rinse it well before you cook it so it doesn't taste bitter (this recipe should have stated that) and I did rinse my quinoa but my dish was bitter before I even put the quinoa in! By the way, the quinoa itself was fine, it wasn't bitter. I decided maybe I should add more wasabi powder as some of the reviewers suggested but before I did, I tasted the wasabi to see how much of a kick it had and UGH! It was horribly bitter! It was a brand new container and I had just bought it an hour before at the market. I Googled wasabi powder and discovered that it can go bad and when it does, tastes bitter. SO, I went back to the market and bought a tube of wasabi paste and added it to my recipe hoping that if I added enough it would disguise the bitterness. I'm not sure how well it will work. I will let the dish set overnight and see. Seems to me this recipe should taste good based on its ingredients but just be sure you RINSE YOUR QUINOA BEFORE COOKING, AND HAVE FRESH WASABI POWDER! I think the recipe should be clearer on these two things because it can ruin the whole dish.
