Easy and makes a super healthy lunch all by itself. I make this all the time.

This was great for a change of pace from the regular "green" salad. Really enjoyed it. I halfed the recipe because I wasn't sure I'd be able to eat if all before it might go bad...this will be something I make the full portion of for a work luncheon type thing.

My husband loves this quinoa salad! I tried it the first time and it was a hit! Since then I've made it for all sorts of gatherings and everyone loves it. Five stars!!

This is excellent and gets better the longer the quinoa soaks in the surrounding flavors.

This was good. I served it to friends who never had quinoa and they liked it!! The crumbled cheese really makes a nice subtle flavor to the dish.
