Camping with Quinoa

I love having salad’s waiting for me to eat during the summer.  No one wants to stop the fun of swimming and playing to make a big meal.  At least I don’t.

Sooooo, I have a great recipe for you to keep in your fridge or for you to take on your next camping trip.  I brought this one on our trip last weekend and it kept fine and tasted great.  Here is the recipe:
