==Ingredients==

* 2c quinoa
* 4c water (you can use any sort of broth if you want)
* 1/2 tsp salt

You can toss whatever you feel like trying in here. Here's a good combo to try starting with:

* cilantro
* green onions
* bell peppers
* chopped, cooked chicken breast

If you want to take the time and roast up a ton of veggies, too, they work great in a quinoa salad.

===Vinaigrette===

If you're concerned about calories from the olive oil, you can leave it out, or just squeeze some lemon juice over the finished quinoa for more of a tabouleh effect.

* 3/4c extra virgin olive oil
* juice of 2 lemons
* zest of 1 lemon
* 3 tbps of white wine vinegar
* 1/2 tsp kosher salt
* 1/4 tsp cumin
* 1/4 tsp coriander
* 1 clove crushed garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder

Either blend in a blender or shake in a small container.

==Method==

* The easiest way to cook the quinoa is to toss it into a rice cooker and hit the white rice button. Failing that, cook according to the directions. It smells like bitter ass when you're cooking it. Don't worry: it's supposed to smell like that.
* Let the quinoa cool, then add veggies, herbs, and chicken.
* Pour in the vinaigrette (you may want to just use half of it and save the rest for salads). Stir until everything is well coated.

Can be served room-temp or cold, and should keep well for 4-5 days.
