Author Notes
I originally got this recipe from Epicurious, I decided to bump it up and came up with this. I don't add the tomato,avocado and cucumbers unless I think the salad will be gone. I cut them up and add to separate dishes so they don't get soggy and people can add what they like. I prefer the black Quinoa but you can use any kind. I have also added different kind of beans it dose not matter what you add or take away from the list of vegetables it still turns out. —Fran McGinty
