This is really tasty and easy, but I have never taken quinoa off the heat to sit for 20 minutes and have it be done, so I simmered mine for 15 minutes and then let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the remaining liquid. I served mine hot but the optional chilling direction I think would be good as a summer salad. Made for Fall 2008 PAC.
