My love for Quinoa just keeps growing! It’s so versatile and you can put it in almost anything. This 20 Minute Quinoa Summer Salad is so easy to make.

Ok guys, it’s summer in Florida – It’s HOT! So I really don’t feel like turning on the oven today. 🙂

I love summer, I love the heat, and I love this salad! This is so light and refreshing to have in the summer. You can even make it ahead of time, pack it in a tupperware dish, and take it to the beach! In fact that’s what I’m going to be doing today with this. 🙂

Quinoa generally takes about 20 minutes to make. If you can make rice, you can make Quinoa – it’s that easy!

Add Quinoa and water to a pot, bring to boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes.

So simple.
