This recipe is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I also like to add some diced avocado for extra creaminess.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really dry. I think I'll add some extra dressing next time.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley instead. It was still delicious.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some diced jalapenos next time.
