Quinoa Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

-Serves 2
​

The secret to a good quinoa salad is to cook it right and in the right medium. Although, I almost always cook my quinoa in chicken stock, a good vegetable broth works equally well. Next, simply add a few different flavors and textures - seasonal cherry tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, mint, pomegranate and toasted macadamia nuts - delish!
