Yum,Yum, fabulous! This is a dump-and-stir salad. It's so easy and delicious, I dare you not to stand and eat it with a spoon straight out of the serving bowl! It's even better the next day.......if it lasts that long. BTW if you have never tried quinoa, do it! So good for you.So here's where the food fight comes in. I'm in a contest over at 20 Minute Supper Club to win some great Kitchen Aid goodies. **Edited* I won! Thanks for your support:)

This looks so delicious and versatile! (and healthy, too!) Thank you for sharing it!
I found this recipe looking for ways to use Quinoa other than eating it with eggs (like grits). This is so good and I take some with me for lunch almost every day. Thank you thank you! If you make it with cheddar instead of feta, substitute vinegar for the lemon juice and it's really nice.
