Tips:

Use fresh, ripe ingredients. This will make the salad more flavorful and appealing.
Cook the quinoa according to the package directions. Be sure to rinse the quinoa well before cooking to remove any saponins, which can make it taste bitter.
Let the quinoa cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming mushy.
Chop the vegetables and fruit into small pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help the flavors to blend together.
Use a light, flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or citrus-based dressing is a good choice.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad is best when served fresh, but it can also be chilled for up to 2 days.
