Summer Quinoa Salad

This was Summer Quinoa Salad. I just named so. 

In my opinion, Quinoa is one of foods jumped in the spot light in recent years. I started seeing recipes with quinoa everywhere, read about it, tried and have become a big fan of it because of its nutrient richness, great texture and flavor. Superfood.

My quinoa salad was colorful, bright, cool, fresh - all we wanted in the summertime!
