Variety is the spice of life - and love. Quinoa - the darling of high protein grains adds a healthy crunch to the tang of mustard, the coolness of fresh mint and the intensity of Genova tuna.

Not bad! I've made quinoa countless times before, but this recipe definitely takes it up a notch. The crunch factor is addictive and adds a fun twist to the usual blandness of quinoa. Will try experimenting with different herbs and spices next time.

Not sure what went wrong, but my quinoa turned out mushy instead of crunchy. Maybe I didn't rinse it properly? I'll have to try again and see if I can get it right next time.
