Recipe Summary Lemon-Basil Quinoa Salad
Found this and thought I would share since quinoa seems to be becoming so popular. This make-ahead salad (served warm or room temperature) is great for outdoor parties since it won't spoil in the sun.Ingredients | Best Quinoa Salad Recipes

Ā½ cup roasted red peppers, drained and diced
