    I love this Quinoa salad because it is light, fresh and easy to toss together, yet it's so delicious that you can serve it at your next party or picnic with family and friends.

    I don't add the cucumber until serving time, so they retain their crunch.

    Buen provecho!

      I like quinoa better in a salad than a warm side dish. I am happy to have another great salad to try! It looks yummy!
