This was a good recipe, but I think it could have used more seasoning. I also would have liked the quinoa to be a little more fluffy.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. However, the quinoa was cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were nice and crisp.
