    Hi, I'm not sure if its just me, but the quinoa just falls straight through the holes in the Veroma, into the quinoa. Can I add some baking paper to the veroma or just put it in with the lentils?

    Thanks again Arwen. Another great recipe. I didnt have all the salad ingredients but I used the cooking method for the quinoa and lentils and it was fabulous. I added fresh asparagus and haloumi. Yum. Dressing is delicious.
