1

Prepare quinoa according to directions on box (which is most likely: 2 cups water + 1 cup quinoa, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes). Depending on whether you want your quinoa hot or cold (it's great both ways) either let it cool completely or immediately add in the tomatoes, cheese, basil, salt and pepper.
