Yummy Salad

Not sure of the point value of this salad...but the other night as we made some ginger curry chicken from one of our Food cookbooks...I decided to look up a quinoa salad recipe.  Lots of changes could be made...but this is what I came up with.
Asian Style Quinoa Salad
1 tbsp each of soy sauce and sesame oil
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp freshly, finely grated ginger
(whisk together and let sit)
Prepare Quinoa
1 cup water and 1 cup quinoa (rinsed) using two colors if you like
bring to a boil, turn to low and cook 13-15 minutes (all water should be gone!)

Place hot quinoa in the bowl with the dressing
Chop up the following veggies
Carrots
Cilantro
Green Onion
Cucumber

Toss with quinoa and dressing...serve slightly warm...or chill at least an hour before serving, tastes even better after sitting 24 hours in the fridge
