This is a really nice salad, thanks for sharing. I ended up doing it the old fashioned way - stove top for the quinoa and chopping ingredients by hand, but I have to say it wasn't much effort and well worth the time. A really nice deviation from the common lettuce heavy salad. Thanks

Yum! I just made this in my TM5 in the steamer basket and cooked it for another 10 minutes and chopped everything up and added to the quinoa and seeds hot and served it. Yummo! Thanks for sharing!
Great salad. I got lots of
Great salad. I got lots of comments on this salad and asked for the recipe. Thank you for sharing it.
Yum!!! My husband and I
Yum!!! My husband and I LOVED this! I found that it is a bit risky to rely on the Thermomix to chop up the chilli pepper small enough without leaving a big chunk, so I will chop this up with a knife in the future. I don't want to kill a family member or friend if they get a big chunk! If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm welcome to them!
Not a silly question at all -
Not a silly question at all - lots of mine fell straight through the varoma

This may be a really silly
This may be a really silly question but if you put the quinoa in the varoma, won't it just fall through the hole?
This is a staple at all BBQ's
This is a staple at all BBQ's I go to. There is something about telling people it is Quinoa, especially after SO many people are apposed to it. After they try it the look on their face is great! How can something so healthy be so delicious! Way to go. I leave out the sundried toms as hubby hates them. Thanks again
