Instructions
The only cooking that’s required is cooking the quinoa. Start this first (typically with 2 cups of water per cup of quinoa), and wash, chop and slice your veggies so they're ready for the cooked quinoa once it’s finished - which has a cook time of only about 20 minutes.
How To Make The Sauce
Mix the salad dressing ingredients with an immersion blender or small food processor and mix with salad in a large bowl.
