Light. Easy. Summer. Salad.

The quinoa cooks on the stove top in just a few minutes. If you really don’t want to have any heat in your kitchen, cook the quinoa in a rice cooker out on your patio. Once the quinoa is cooked, the rest is dump and stir.

A refreshing light salad – perfect for the dog days of summer!
