Steps:
- Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Set aside and allow to cool.
- Fill a medium saucepan half full with water and bring to a boil. Add the sugar snap peas and boil for one minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer peas to a few layers of paper towels to dry and cool. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch long pieces.
- Place a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the pepitas and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.
- Add quinoa, peas, and pepitas to a large bowl along with the carrots, onion, and chives. Toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over salad and toss again to coat.
- Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
- To store, cover tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to two days.
