I made this almost exactly as printed but made 2 changes. I could not find any flat parsley at my grocery stores (all sold out) so I ended up getting the tube of fresh parsley paste sold in the produce section and added this. I think it actually made the salad Amazing because it put the parsley flavor throughout the whole salad. And I used a whole 10 oz bag of spinach. We will definitively be making this again!! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Excellent!!!
Made as is minus the cilantro (not a fan). Used plenty of fresh parsley like you suggested. Also used chicken broth (apologies).
Have gone a different route for lunches for the past year. No more sandwiches and definitely no more chips. Not a vegetarian, just looking for healthy options. Your soups (Classic Minestrone & Pasta e Fagioli) and Sun-Dried Tomato, Spinach and Quinoa Salad are delicious and staples now. This one here just got added to the list!
Newcomer to your blog and so glad I stumbled onto it.
Looking forward to trying so many more of your recipes.
Thanks!!!

I made this as written except i added a cucumber and green bell pepper for extra green veggies and it was delicious! I didn’t have peptias, but I may try adding some sunflower seeds instead since that’s what I have in the kitchen. I also used vegan feta since that’s what I prefer. I will add this to my rotation of cookie and kate quinoa salad recipes that I make on a regular basis as a meal prep for lunch. I also have made the favorite quinoa salad recipe and thai peanut quinoa salad recipe and love them all! I make the quinoa in the instant pot which seems to make things easier.

So good! It’s my favorite fresh when the quinoa is still warm, but the chilled leftovers are great too. Salads with grains in them are perfect for my husband who is a construction worker and can’t heat up food for lunch. It’s a little more hearty than your typical salad and something different and healthier than a sandwich. The only change I made was that I cooked the quinoa in chicken stock instead of water for more flavor. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you!

In reply to Nancy. Hi Nancy, I don't have a good oil free option without changing the entire dressing. Sorry!

Just wondering if the dressing could be done without oil?

In reply to Isabelle. Hi! I like this one the best as it. I haven't tried it, but if you have liked the results before it may be interesting to try.

would it be possible to use 1/4 cup water instead of 1/4 cup oil for the dressing? I’m used to thinning my tahini dressing with water so I was just wondering if that would work for this recipe as well. thank you :)
