Salad

- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (optional)
Dressing
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 2 tbs lime juice

Directions
- Cook quinoa. I boil just like pasta for 9minutes and strain. Easiest way to cook it to your particular doneness. Set aside and let cool while you prep the veg.
- Chop all veg and add to cooled quinoa. For a side dish, leave as is, for a complete meal add the chicken breast.
- Mix olive oil, lime juice and honey. Then add to quinoa and veg mixture.
- Add dill, salt and pepper to taste
