This was a good recipe. The quinoa was cooked perfectly and the flavors were good. However, I found it to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to taste and it was much better.

This recipe was way too salty for my taste. I had to rinse the quinoa several times before cooking it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the quinoa turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
