Quinoa Salad

I really like quinoa, although I never cook much with it, so I decided to remedy that!

I've been pouring over recipes and found quite a few to try. This one combines a couple of them.

 Brent really liked this too. The lime gave it such a fresh taste,and we loved the zip from the spices. Next time I will make just half a batch though, as we were eating this for week....it makes a ton. It was awesome on it's own for a quick lunch, and perfect as a side with grilled chicken!
