Quinoa Salad

This one is made from what was at home so I am pretty much guessing the amounts of ingredients. But I think you cannot go wrong with any alterations you make to your likings so go ahead and try it. :-)

3 c cooked guinea
3 stalk of celery chopped very small
3 green onions chopped
1 carrot grated
1 can of black olives (I half them)
1 c raisins (this time I used small bag of dry cranberries and raisins)
1/2 c sunflower seeds (you can use pine nuts too. Or chop and roast walnuts)
1/2 bag of sun dried tomatoes (about 8-10) cut the with scissors on tiny strips
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Garlic powder

1/4 c Olive oil
3-4 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
Lemon (optional)

Basically toss it all together and pour the dressing over it. If you like it bit sour especially during warm weather in summer add the lemon. Its quite refreshing
Chill and ready to serve.
