"A heart-healthy salad that`s full of flavor, for ease, use the roasted pepper in the jar. You can make this salad a day ahead and keep it in he fridge until you need to serve it, leftovers will last a few days sealed in a container and kept in the fridge. This makes a great salad to take to work in a sealed container to have for lunch, add some cooked chicken or turkey if desired"

This combo of crunchy vegetables and nutty quinoa is great, and the lemon and thyme seasonings are refreshing. I like to make veggie and grain salads early in the week to take to work for lunch and found that as the week progressed this salad still had great texture and flavor. It did absorb the vinaigrette so I simply refresh it with a squeeze of lemon - perfect! This is so good - and so healthful! Thanks Kittencal.

This is really quite good and I love keeping 1-2 prepared salads on hand. The only things I did different were to rinse the quinoa before cooking, and also to season with s&p and just used red bell pepper (no yellow), but no biggie. Thanks for sharing!
