Quick quinoa tabbouleh

We had this dish with Fragrant chicken curry with chick peas and Quinoa tabbouleh on side with rice. Everyone loved it. Including my 11 year old. Asked me to make more...

I added some sunflower seeds, and reduced the amount of oil and added a drizzle of balsamic. Also chopped up a quarter of a red pepper and added. Tasted lovely. I love recipes like this that you can alter and change according to what you already have in the cupboards at home.

Decided to vary it and add courgette and shallots, with toasted pine nuts instead of walnuts.

Delish. Very fresh-tasting, perfect for summer lunches. I was not too fond of the taste of the oil in the background, next time I will leave it out. I also left out the walnuts as I don't like nuts, I imagine that the extra crunch would add a nice dimension to the dish.

Nice combination. I find with quinoa though it goes a bit goey- any one got any suggestions how to get it more light and fluffy for salads??
