Transfer cooked quinoa to a bowl and gently stir in the remaining ingredients.

Refrigerate and serve cold, if desired, or serve warm.

This Mediterranean quinoa salad looks amazing, the recipe sounds delicious and well balanced as well. For a vegetarian version, use browned tofu cubes instead of chicken, I bet it will be still very tasty.

Thanks for another yummy recipe with a yummier photo :)
