Instructions

  1. Make your quinoa first. Soak the quinoa in a pot in the veggie broth for about 15 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to medium high and let the quinoa come to a boil. Once it boils, reduce heat again to medium/low and let quinoa simmer.
  3. Stir every so often, and cook quinoa for about 20-25 minutes just until the liquid absorbs. You don't want it completely dried out, so when there is just a TINY amount of liquid left in the pot, remove it from heat and put a lid on it. Set it aside.
  4. Chop the rest of the veggies and combine dressing ingredients.
  5. Toss everything with the dressing and serve well chilled.
