Quinoa - Off-the-wall ideas

I cook quinoa because it’s far more nutritious than rice and it doesn’t take long to cook. Tonight, perhaps out of desperation, I started to just add stuff.
 
First was raisins, followed by unfiltered extra virgin oil and topped with Maldon smoked sea salt... all after the unsalted quinoa was cooked.
 
I was shocked to find that it actually worked for me. The smoked sea salt added a nice crunchy saltiness. The raisins and olive oil added fruity, savory notes. Except for the probably excessive amount of salt (more than what I would put in the water), it was somewhat healthful.
 
Comments, especially constructive criticisms, welcome.
