Quinoa salad
Its not rocket science. It seems everyone has a go-to quinoa salad recipe these days. Im putting mine here, because it was really yummy, it tastes great even after a week in the fridge (perhaps even better than when I made it, the dressing had a chance to really soak into the quinoa…) and is quick to make in a pinch. I wanted to record the recipe here for my self, and perhaps for anyone out there who would like to try a new one.
I will not tell you quantities, as I cant remember them. sorry. 
All I can say is that I used a large proportion of Quinoa per other stuff, and it tasted great and lasted longer! Also, if it tastes funny, you might need more salt. Just saying.
Cooked quinoa, (if you are making it to eat now, just run the hot quinoa under cold water to cool it)
fresh tomatoes
cucumber
tiny pieces of red onion
feta cheese
chopped kale
chopped fresh herbs (mint and thyme)
chopped, pitted kalamata olives
Dressing:
white balsamic vinegar
lemon juice
salt
olive oil
Mix it, let it sit, or eat it now. Keep in mason jars and take it for your lunch!

like a greek salad with kale. Yum. Usually equal parts oil and lemon juice, no?
Ours lately has been like fried rice – onions, leftover vegies, fried egg, leftover chicken, beans, sesame seeds etc. in quinoa all fried up. No dressing if eaten warm. Squeeze of lemon juice if cold.
