Directions
In a small saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from the heat; fluff with a fork. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Just before serving, drizzle remaining dressing over salad; toss to coat. Yield: 10 servings.
