I don’t even remember how this recipe came about. I think it may have started from some leftover cooked quinoa. And I probably had read something similar a while back.  So I tried to throw things together and came up with this awesomely fresh and delicious Vegetarian Quinoa bowl.

It was nutritious, filling, and I can see this being a favorite in both summer and winter. 
So without wasting time on a story about my weekend as this was being prepared or what my kids were upto or my running that day, etc., here is the recipe for the vegetarian quinoa bowl
