SUMMER QUINOA SALAD
My son has celiac disease & one of his favorite summer foods is pasta salad. So, I've tweaked one of my favorite pasta salad recipes, so he can enjoy it too. The beauty of this recipe is its infinite possibilities. I never make it the same way twice. In this recipe, I've listed all of the add-ins I've used (never all at once), but feel free to make it your own. Many non-GF friends have asked for the recipe, so here it is...

Steps:
- Heat water (salted, if you want) in large saucepan to boiling & add quinoa. Cook 15 minutes or until cooked (follow directions on quinoa package, cooking times vary by type of quinoa). Once cooked, fluff & put in large mixing bowl to cool.
- Combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper, herbs & garlic in blender or whisk well in small mixing bowl. Pour this mixture (viniagrette) over quinoa to "marinate.".
- If veggies and add-ins aren't prepped yet, chop them while quinoa "marinates." Stir remaining ingredients into quinoa, serve. Can be served warm (fresh), at room temperature or slightly chilled.

QUINOA SPRING & SUMMER SALAD (GLUTEN FREE)
Found this in Alive's July 2010 magazine. They called it a spring salad, but it screams summer to me when I can (hopefully) pick fresh cukes, peas, peppers and onions from the garden or local farmers market. I'm always looking for ways to use quinoa, have tried this using red quinoa for something different. It worked well except that I find the red quinoa is easy to overcook, so keep an eye on it. Pair this with Recipe #431876, or another simple dressing. This calls for 3 cups of cooked quinoa, which is easily done, I use Jubes' Recipe #235534. Be sure to rinse your quinoa really well to remove its bitter outer layer. It makes a pretty big bowl full which I think would serve 8 easily as a side dish. I found that the dressing more or less disappears if you leave it too long so I suggest not tossing it until you're ready to eat. And if you're only using half the batch, just toss half. The quinoa part keeps well but after a day in the fridge I could barely detect the dressing.

SUMMER SALAD WITH QUINOA
This healthy and refreshing salad is a favorite summer recipe. I use ingredients that I have on-hand and it is very easy to prepare. You could easily substitute with your favorite seasonal veggies in place of those that I used. Great on its own as a side dish or served over mixed greens as a main course salad.
