QUINOA AND CHICKPEA SALAD WITH TOMATO VINAIGRETTE
From March 2011 issue of Canadian Living magazine. It's delicious and hard to mess up. I've used brown rice instead of quinoa and it works. I do not normally eat green beans but in this I do. I can not find strained tomatoes so I use canned crushed tomatoes.

QUINOA VEGGIE SALAD WITH ZESTY VINAIGRETTE
Quinoa with various veggies and a zesty (and easy) vinaigrette that makes a wonderful salad dressing for any salad. I used one English cucumber instead of 2 normal cucumbers because we prefer the taste. Cook the quinoa with the water as you would normal rice (works in a rice cooker as well).
