Serve this cold quinoa salad with balsamic dressing as a delicious summer side to your favorite grilled meat, or try it alone as a great light lunch. I have been experimenting a lot with quinoa recently, and this is by far my favorite recipe. It's such a nice, healthy alternative to pasta and rice!

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • ½ cup frozen baby lima beans
  • water to cover
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ⅓ cup slivered almonds
  • 3 Campari tomatoes, diced
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
  • 2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small chunks
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
