This delicious, nutty quinoa salad makes a great lunch for school or work. It is also a lovely addition to a Thanksgiving feast! I prefer to use red quinoa for this salad because it offers a nutty flavor that complements the other ingredients in this recipe quite well. Look for it in the bulk section of your local health food store.
