Made this last night for dinner! It was great! The only change I made was substituting broth for water when cooking the quinoa for more flavor and I added some salt. Remember to rinse the quinoa a few times to get rid of the bitter taste. - 11 Mar 2015 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
So yummy! Pomegranates were not available when I made this so I just left them out and it was still incredible. Definitely a recipe for an avocado lover - 10 Feb 2015 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
