This salad has potential but it was pretty bland as written (I left out the honey, but it's such a small amount, could that be the only issue?). I doubled the dressing and am hoping once it sits a bit it'll have more flavor.

Hi Leah, I'm sorry about that, and thank you for this feedback! Make sure to adjust the seasoning to your taste. I also think your idea to let it sit a bit can definitely help! Thanks for your engagement and feedback. -Chana Tzirel from Kosher.com

Correct amount? Are the amounts for the water and quinoa correct?
I know you should use about double the water to quinoa, but here is written:
one cup of water and one cup of quinoa
