Agree that it's a bit of chopping, but flavors are good. Would be nice to include the amount of quinoa to cook to yield 2 cups. I cooked 1 cup of red quinoa in just under 2 cups of water and it seemed like about right. On line sources indicate that 1 cup dry should yield 3 to 4 cups!

I haven’t made it yet but I just want your opinion. Any suggestions as to freezing it?

Love these! The chopping, etc takes a few minutes but the taste is fantastic. I use the dressing with other salads. Really good.
