Quinoa Salad

Susan's Super EZ Everyday Quinoa
No recipe required.

Easiest way to make quinoa is to use a rice cooker. Two cups liquid to one cup quinoa. I try to remember to use chicken broth instead of water, to add a bit more flavor. Be sure to use cooking spray on the rice cooker bowl before starting. Dump in broth and quinoa, flip the switch and walk away!

Once quinoa is cooked and cooled a bit, simply add whatever you like and/or whatever is in the 'fridge. This time it was: chopped carrots, edamame, slivered almonds, pomegranate seeds.
Mix in a good dose of any type salad dressing. This batch was Trader Joe's Champagne Pear Vinaigrette.

I made a batch at a Book Club at Lara's several months ago, where I actually followed a recipe. Loved it, and the recipe is on Michelle's blog already called Black Bean & Tomato Quinoa:(http://sdbookclubrecipes.blogspot.com/search/label/Black%20Bean%20and%20Tomato%20Quinoa).
