Author Notes

This quinoa salad is vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free friendly! It is a light salad, but also heavy enough to keep you full. The combination of the citrus fruits and hearty bean and quinoa base is tough to beat. Enjoy this quinoa dish at the pool, on the beach, or in the comfort of your home. It won the hearts of many of my friends! —Kristin
