Directions

Bring 1/2 cup quinoa and 1 cup water to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to low, with the lid on, and gently simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Set aside.

While quinoa is cooking, add all the salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Once quinoa is cooked and slightly cooled, add the quinoa to the salad mix.

In a Mason jar, add all the dressing ingredients, and shake until well blended. Pour the dressing over the salad, and gently toss until well combined. Serve.
