Quinoa With Spinach, Tomato and Chicken image

A healthy alternative for the gluten-allergic, the lazy college-student. It's so simple, you just cannot go wrong with it. Regarding the quinoa: If you plan on making a lot of these salads, it's advisable to cook the quinoa in a big batch and store it in the fridge. It saves a lot of time because before cooking you have to rinse it extremely well to get rid of the bitter coating.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my quinoa turned out mushy. The vegetables were also overcooked.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less chili powder.
