Picnic Bean and Quinoa Salad Recipe
Picnic Bean and Quinoa Salad

We were headed out for a picnic and needed to take something that was portable and vegetarian. I made this up to out taste and what was available in my fridge. Red pepper, green onion, sundried tomatoes, olives, chickpeas, whatever all would have worked as well. I based the dressing on the fact that it is mostly Mexican inspired. If yours isn't then adjust your dressing to suit, or use your favourite. You just need a very strong flavour for the dressing as the quinoa really soaks it up.
