Quinoa Salad:

cook quinoa:
boil 1 cup washed quinoa in 2 cups water, reduce and simmer lidded for 10-15 minutes until water is absorbed, set aside to cool/dry

dice raw yellow squash, cukes, celery, red pepper.
halve some cherry tomatoes, mince a bit of fresh ginger

combine in large bowl with 1/2 can of chick peas, a shake of garlic salt, 1/2 can of black beans, a tsp of olive oil, and the juice from one lemon.

heat a skillet with 1 tbsp of olive oil, and toss in the quinoa. add 2 tbps of horseradish, a couple splashes of balsalmic vinegar, some hot sauce and stir. add veggie mix, heat for 5 minutes,stirring, and remove to a bigger bowl. chill, serve cold.

i adapted this from a couple of different recipes, and it doesn't suck.
