Here is a quick and easy salad. Rinse and drain quinoa and follow the cooking instructions. While the grain is boiling chop all your veggies. I used cucumbers, radishes, yellow peppers and spring onions. Then in a glass jar mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar with some salt and pepper and fresh thyme. Put the lid on and shake well. When the quinoa absorbs all the water fluff with fork and transfer into a serving bowl. Letting the quinoa cool down a bit. Add the veggies and toss. Then drizzle the dressing over top and toss again. Add some fresh chives. Serve and enjoy. This is a very filling salad and I enjoy it during the winter months as well. Have a great weekend! - JW
