I love these types of salads. I'll print and add to the cooking que. = )


Love this. Years ago in Colorado, I had my first taste of quinoa, and we love it! Great recipe. Thanks, and happy cookin'.


I must try this. It sounds great. Spring is coming, and I'm already hungry for summer salads. Thanks.


Oh thank you! I recently developed a food crush on quinoa, and I'm doing everything I can with it. I just love a cool grain salad in the summer! I'll be trying this one soon.
