Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Salad will keep for a day or two so it can be made hours before you need to serve it.
  • tip 2
    Replacing the water with chicken broth when cooking the quinoa gives it lots of flavor.
  • tip 3
    Feel free to get creative and add some feta cheese, olives, oregano, or other cheeses and spices.
