    I generally throw this recipe into rotation when I'm tired of my green salads. It's also very popular for potlucks, its pretty much always requested that I bring it. Scale it to how much you need, stays in the fridge for about three days. Tastes best if you let it sit overnight.

    Quinoa Salad:

    -for veggies anything works I use:
    cucumbers, bell peppers, red and yellow tomatoes, black olives, chickpeas, and red onions.

    Sometimes I'll throw tuna or chicken in for extra protein.

    quinoa (I cook it in chicken or veggie broth to pick up the flavor a bit)

    Dressing:
    olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt and pepper. I use more of the acids than the oil. For example, if I'm only making 1 salad I'll use 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 0.5 tbsp oil, a squirt of dijon and a dash of salt and pepper.

    I like to bring a tupperware of plain quinoa to work, and add in whatever it is we are serving that day. I work at a banquet hall, and usually I add in some baked chicken breast and shred it up and mix in some BBQ sauce. A while back, we had spinach and feta stuffed chicken breasts for a baby shower, and I decided to ditch the chicken and mixed the spinach and feta mixture in with the quinoa and added a few cherry tomatoes.

    I've seen some salad-in-a-jar recipes with quinoa that I've been meaning to try as well!
