For an extra layer of flavor, toast the quinoa in a dry pan for a few minutes before cooking. Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits, such as golden raisins or chopped apricots. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
