• 1 1/2 cups quinoa
• 3 cups water
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped scallion
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh dill, cilantro or parsley
• 1 recipe Savory salad dressing or honey-vinegar (1/4 cup balsamic vinegar,
• 2 1/2 T’s honey, 1 1/2 T’s Dijon mustard, freshly ground pepper all mixed together)
• Freshly ground pepper

Rinse the quinoa well before cooking to remove its slightly bitter coating.  Place quinoa and water in a pan.  Boil, cover, reduce the heat, simmer for 15 min. or until liquid is absorbed.  Combine chopped veggies including the fresh chopped herb of your choice.  Mix well.  Add cooked quinoa.  Toss gently and add dressing.  Toss again and add pepper to taste.  Cover and chill for 2 hours before serving.
