Rinse 2 cups uncooked quinoa in a fine sieve to remove the bitter coating. Boil in four cups water, and place the quinoa on a paper-towel lined plate to absorb the extra water. Mix first six ingredients together in a large bowl. In a separate container mix the last four ingredients. Pour the liquids over the salad and toss gently. For the best flavor let set in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving. |
