A simple, but healthy salad featuring quinoa. Truth be told, I go blank when I am in charge of making salads for any potluck. I will gladly swap for making bread instead 
. But, I do try to include salads in our meals off and on. Roasted bell pepper adds a ton of flavor and all the ingredients blend well together in this salad. Quinoa is loaded with protein and makes the salad very filling. Overall a keeper recipe for us. Off to the recipe.
