Excellent recipe. Only change I made was to use a full can of chickpeas (only because I misread the recipe!) which made this great as a meal salad to take to work. I also used halved grape tomatoes as they were what I had and threw the cumin and cayenne in with the quinoa as it simmered. If you like a little heat, some hot sauce added before serving is really excellent.

This one is a keeper, I substituted cilantro for the parsley and added avocados and red onions. Oh my, it even got better after sitting for a while.

Fabulous! I followed the recipe exactly and it was WONDERFUL! The quinoa didn't take as long to cook, maybe 15 minutes, so keep an eye on it.

I loved this. It could have used some onion, but that's about all I would have changed. My quinoa took only about 7 or 8 minutes to cook, so this came together more quickly than I expected. Will definitely make this again.

Wow! This is a great recipe. I made a few modifications to it to make it perfect for me- I used a whole can of mixed beans instead of chick peas/garbanzo beans, increased the 'dressing' by half and that included the garlic, used grape/cherry tomatoes sliced in half AND used one-half cup chopped fresh cilantro instead of the parsley. I know the vegetarians where I work will just LOVE this recipe. It's a winner!

This didn't have a very "full" flavor. The lime actually did more harm than good to the overall taste. The kids liked the Organic Chickpeas I used... but I didn't care for the recipe overall.

This reminds me of my favorite quinoa recipe that uses black beans. The chickpeas were a nice change! My family really enjoyed this recipe. It's great room temperature, cold, and works well if you need a side dish for a picnic that doesn't have mayonnaise. A great way to introduce a new food to your friends & family!

I loved this! It was a nice light summer dinner. I used lemon juice because it's what I had, and I thought it turned out great. I added a little bit of chile powder to give it a bit of spice. It turned out great!

I made this recipe tonight, and it was great! Super easy for a busy mom. I didn't have any quinoa on hand, so I used couscous. I also added zucchini, yellow squash, and green onions, and I sauteed chickpeas and veggies while the couscous was cooking. I also added lime juice, cumin, and parsley to the couscous. My 2 year old daughter wasn't a big fan of the lime and cumin flavors, so I squeezed a bit of orange on hers and the sweetness from the orange balanced out the tangy. It was very good this way, too!

I usually review the day after I have tried a recipe....but I wanted to say how much I loved this recipe! So yummy! I used cherry tomatoes which I quartered, and only used 1/2 c. quinoa to 1c. water. I also added only 2tsp. evoo. LOVED the freshness of the lime juice, parlsey and garlic. Will most definately make again. A great dish, thanks for sharing!
