Four Bean Salad with Quinoa Recipe

[2]

Light. Easy. Summer. Salad.

The quinoa cooks on the stovetop in just a few minutes.  If you really don’t want to have any heat in your kitchen, cook the quinoa in a rice cooker out on your patio. Once the quinoa is cooked, the rest is “dump and stir.”

A refreshing light salad…perfect for the dog days of summer!
