Quick and Easy Mexican Confetti Quinoa Salad

Mexican Confetti Quinoa Salad

Here is a recipe for a delicious Fast and Easy salad/side dish that takes only a few minutes to whip up. I made this to accompany our veggie burgers and it was a hit with everyone! I used some left over quinoa which I make in big batches and then divide it up and refrigerate, so that I am able to use it throughout the week. I have had variations of this salad before, and was inspired one day by Trader Joe's Black Bean and Roasted Corn fresh salsa...
