QUINOA WITH TOMATOES

Another great quinoa recipe to add to the collection.  I like the combination of quinoa, basil and tomatoes. You could add more tomatoes to the recipe if you wanted but I thought that three were enough.

Chopping tomatoes and green onion.

Mixing up the dressing, chopped herbs, tomatoes and green onions.

The finished salad and ready for the table.
