I reduced the servings to 2 cups and served it as a side to recipe #305328. The quinoa was allowed to cool some before adding in all the yummy vegetables. I might consider adding in some of the lemon zest for even more lemon flavor. Made for *PAC Spring 2010*

I used red quinoa, diced my red onions and yellow bell peppers, quartered my grape tomatoes. used water in place of the broth for a veggie meal. Oh I used the whole egg just couldn`t throw the yolks away. I also added fresh minced garlic. Thanks for the good eats!
