Summertime at our house means lots of park play dates and picnics with friends. As a mom, do you pack a quick PBJ for yourself as well, or do you go a little more sophisticated? I made this Grape and Quinoa Salad for a park play date last week and it was so delicious and light. You could add cooked chicken breast to it for a one-dish meal.

This is such a yummy salad! If you don't have hazelnuts on hand, you can substitute slivered almonds. Add grilled chicken cut in cubes to make this a one-dish meal.
I tried quinoa for the first time a couple nights ago. I wasn’t sure what to add to it, so we had in plain along side our grilled salmon. It was good, but definitely needed some other flavors. I’ll have to try this recipe! Thanks
The recipe looks really good, I am going to try it.
My parents want me to bring an old favorite macaroni salad this weekend to our BBQ—I think I’m going to “surprise” them with this healthy option instead!!!!!!

Silly question, but I don’t have much experience with quinoa (first and last time I cooked it it was like watery mush). How much quinoa do you cook to get 3 C and how long do you cook it? I am excited to try this recipe!
