Juicy and sweet, this springtime salad features a homemade strawberry dressing and comes together in just 20 minutes. Pro tip: Cook extra quinoa (either red or white) whenever you make it so you have it on hand to add heft to salads and stews. Cooked quinoa keeps 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator and up to 3 months in the freezer.
