- To cook the quinoa: Combine the rinsed quinoa and the water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 15 minutes, reducing heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes, to give it time to fluff up.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, bell pepper, onion and parsley. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and salt. Whisk until blended, then set aside.
- Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving bowl, and drizzle the dressing on top. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with black pepper, to taste, and add an extra pinch of salt if necessary. For best flavor, let the salad rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

- To a large skillet or saucepan, add the olive oil, sweet Vidalia onions, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until onions have softened and just begin to lightly caramelize, about 7 minutes.
- Add the water, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, stir to combine, reduce the heat to low, cover pan, and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until all liquid has been absorbed. While quinoa cooks, chop the remaining ingredients.
- To a very large bowl, add the green onions, nectarines, corn (I don’t cook it and slice it into the bowl directly from the cob), cucumber, tomatoes, basil, season with salt and pepper to taste (I used about 1/2 teaspoon of each), and stir to combine.

- First, pre-heat the oven to 350. Then get a small pot on the stove and bring the stock to a low boil in it. Pour in the quinoa and give it a stir, then cover the pot and turn the heat to low. Let the quinoa cook until tender for about 10-12 minutes. The little tendrils should pop out and the liquid all cooked off. While the quinoa cooks, transfer the halved cherry tomatoes and diced zucchini into a baking dish. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder and toss everything well to coat the veggies. Get the baking dish into the hot oven to roast the veggies for about 15 minutes. The zucchini should get tender but not be turned to mush.
- Take the cooked quinoa and fluff it up with a fork when it is done. Then transfer it to a large bowl and toss it thoroughly with the roasted zucchini and tomatoes, the spinach, almonds and basil. Dress it with your favorite salad dressing (I found a wonderful avocado cilantro yogurt based one) and serve immediately warm or at room temperature! It also is fantastic chilled.

- Cook quinoa according to the package instructions. Set aside to cool. The way I cook quinoa: Place quinoa with double the amount of water (1 ½ cup) and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until most of the water is soaked up. Take the pot from the heat, pop on a lid, and let it sit for another 15 minutes.)
- Zucchini: Slice zucchini and toss it with all the other ingredients in a bowl. Heat a skillet with a little extra oil and cook each side of the zucchini for 5 minutes over medium heat until soft and slightly brown.
- Quinoa Salad: Place quinoa with apricots, almonds, ginger, scallion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and cooked zucchini in a large bowl and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top it with chopped herbs and drizzle with the yogurt topping!
