Quinoa Salad with Lime Ginger Dressing and Shrimp image

This salad, with its gingery lime dressing, scallions and cilantro and a little bit of heat, has Asian overtones. Serve it as a side dish or a light lunch or supper. Vegetarians will enjoy this without the shrimp, which garnish the top of the salad.
