Absolutely delicious! Makes me so excited for my cucumbers and tomatos to start growing. I made it as the recipe called first and loved it. But the next day it was even better without the lettuce. Just mixed the quinoa, tomatos, cucumber, and onion with a little more dressing. I even added some green bell pepper because I had some already cut up and just wanted to use up. YUM!

This is a very nice summer salad. The only thing I did differently was I added some salad dressing directly to the cooked Quinoa and stirred it prior to pacing it on the salad. This spread the flavor throughout the grains for a more even taste. I also put 2 tablespoons of vinegar on the onions and let them sit for 30 minutes. This mellowed them out and gave them a sweeter pickled taste.

Love this recipe. I use veggie broth for my vegetarian daughter. Everyone gobbles this one up when I make it. Also good for taking to work as a meal. Very filling.
