Quinoa Salad

Directions

1. 1
   Follow the cooking directions on the box of quinoa. I actually cooked mine in the microwave!
2. 2
   While quinoa is still hot, mix in the tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and cider vinegar. Give the salad a little taste and add salt and fresh cracked pepper as needed.
3. 3
   Place in the refrigerator to cool and serve chilled.

   Notes:
5. 5
   This salad tastes better if you make it the night before and refrigerate it. That gives the vinegar time to soak into the tomatoes and the basil's flavor to pop.
6. 6
   Use whatever tomatoes you can find. I prefer to use small and sweet ones.
7. 7
   Feel free to change up the type of vinegar you use to end up with a whole new salad! Red wine or balsamic vinegar would be great alternatives!
