Notes

If I make this and have leftovers I will often adjust the taste the next time I eat it. The lemon and olive oil really soak into the quinoa so to bring the flavor back out try adding a bit of each until you are at your desired flavor. This salad goes great over greens as well: try arugula or romaine.
