Summer Quinoa Salad

One of my clients the other day was at the clinic for a few hours and brought her lunch along. It was a pre-made salad from somewhere and it looked super tasty and definitely like something I would eat so I modified it a bit to make it into a lunch salad. I love how fresh and tasty it is - and for anyone who likes recipes that call putting-stuff-in-a-bowl "cooking," this one's for you.

Summer Quinoa Salad (makes 4 lunch-size portions)

1 cup dry quinoa
2 cups packed baby greens, chopped
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup edamame
1 cup chick peas
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 recipe mango vinaigrette

Cook quinoa according to package directions. While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Cool the quinoa and combine all ingredients together.
