Quinoa Confetti Salad

The holidays are here and we're going back to some of our old standbys to take to various potlucks. This is one of our hidden gems.  We posted this under One chop, Two Salads but it's hard to find in our blog, so we thought we'd repost for your easy access.  This is an easy, delicious quinoa salad.  Try it for your next party!
