Quinoa salad

I've had variations on this several times made by my wife and also guests.  It's been great every time.
Basis is the grain quinoa which is a healthy complete protein.  Just rinse it and boil for 15 minutes then let cool.
Add whatever vegetables you have on hand (fresh, steamed or sauteed).
A light dressing of olive oil, vinegar (wine, balsamic or rice... or lemon juice) plus seasonings (try soy, Dijon mustard, sesame, salt and pepper).

Here are some vegetables we have used:
asparagus (steamed or fresh)
sweet peppers (fresh)
onions (sauteed or fresh)
cucumber
tomatoes
parsley (or cilantro or basil)
spinach (wilted or sauteed)

Also good topped with toasted pine, almond or sesame nuts.
