The company I work for has a demo department in all of their stores. I like when they introduce something that I want to make at home. This is my version of their Green Quinoa Salad. 1 1/2 cup red or white or mixed quinoa 2 cups of water 1/2 cup of broccoli cut small 1/2 cup asparagus 3 stalk green onions chopped 8 oz pesto 1tbl olive oil pinch of salt Rinse quinoa add to a pot with the water and salt on med/high. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low cover and let simmer about 15 min, or until all of the water is gone. Let quinoa cool. Saute asparagus in olive oil until tender. When ready to mix together. Enjoy!
