Here is how you make Haley's Quinoa Salad:

Cook the dry quinoa as you would raw rice: in 2 and 1/2 cups fresh salted water, covered, until all of the water is absorbed. I used my rice cooker to do this. The quinoa turned out fluffy, tender and perfect. Scoop the cooked quinoa into a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, tossing lightly with a fork until combined. Taste test and adjust seasonings.Cover and chill for at least two hours. Let the flavors mingle and get happy. I think this salad tastes even better the second day. Why not plan ahead and make it the day before? Makes 6 servings.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MAKALANI22.
