Like the other reviews stated- this was rather bland and required a singificant amount of 'spicing up'.

Great base recipe. I used chicken stock rather than vegetable and baby spinach in place of the chard. Also added carrots, celery, diced chicken breast, and red pepper flakes.

Very bland. Next time, I would do as the other reviewer and add some more spices and salmon. Easy to make.

It is a great one dish meal. I used kidney beans instead of lentils. Added 2 chilies, as we like food a little hot. Also added a dash of cajun seasoning.

Good hearty recipe but not enough favor. We added salsa to the leftovers and it really made a difference. Thanks for a recipe that involves quinoa - very under used food.

I love quinoa but I found this recipe very bland even after adding oregano and basil as one other reviewer recommended. I don't think I would make it again.

Tried this recipe a few months ago. It was my first experience with quinoa and I must say I was VERY impressed. Quinoa is now a staple food in my house. Simple, satisfying and flavorful, I've passed this on to everyone I know who cooks.

I really wanted to like this because it incorporated swiss chard. But as others have said it was so incredibly bland. Also, I had so much chard I only added half. I guess I'll just stick to Quinoa Side Dish (excellent) from this site. Thanks for submitting though.

This wasn't bad, it was just very, very bland. It definitely needs seasoning help.

I was disappointed in this recipe. I've tried other quinoa recipes that I liked much better. This was just a little too bland.

Love this recipe! Healthy, tasty, beautiful. I made a big batch of this (it makes alot) and had it for packing my lunch all week. Quinoa is a very low sodium, wheat free, non-gluten whole grain rich in antioxidants and dietary fiber. Drizzle it with flax oil and some wheat free Tamari sauce - yum!

Was quite good, but had to add extra seasonsings at the table. Used two cans of lentils (rinsed). Chard is always a favorite. Might try kale next time.

Overall, I really enjoyed this although it was a bit bland. I added some tomato sauce once it cooled down and it was delicious.

I was a little skeptical of this one, but after reading the reviews I decided to try it. This was really simple and delicious. Much more flavorful than I anticipated. I brought the leftovers to work and my coworkers loved it too. One note: I used rainbow chard and by the next day the red color bled into quinoa. It was a hideous combination of pink and green but my brave (very hungry) coworkers tried it anyway.

Very yummy! I did make a few little modifications, though. 1st of all, I didn't have quinoa, so I used brown rice. I also used dry red lentils instead of canned. I threw in 3 bay leaves with the garlic and onion and left them in the pot to simmer with everything. I chopped up a tomato and added that. It was great (and healthy)! Will definetly make again.
