Quinoa Salad

Had a version of this a few weeks ago at a friend's cookout. Delicious! Made up my own last night. You can really added any vegi you've got, but this was a huge hit. One of my son's friends even had seconds!

1 cup dry quinoa
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/2 cucumber, diced
1/3 c. chopped red onion
4 oz muenster or swiss, diced
1/4 c. fresh herbs, rinsed, dried and chopped (I used oregano)
2-4 Tbs. vinaigrette


  1. Prepare the quinoa according to package directions. Make this a few hours ahead of time so it can cool.
  2. Mix in vegetables, cheese and herbs.
  3. Toss with dressing and serve.
