I love it! Cooked in vegetable broth, added 1 diced tomato and only used 1 Tbsp each of vinegar and oil. Easy to make, colorful, healthy and delicious!

Surprisingly delicious!! I used red quinoa and toasted it in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Then I cooked it in broth rather than water. It was just as good leftover for lunch. This is one to make again and again.
