BBQ Quinoa Salad

The perfect salad to bring to a summer picnic or potluck! This BBQ Quinoa Salad focuses on summer goodness with freshly cooked corn on the cob, red cabbage and bright cilantro. Fresh tomatoes or that bumper crop of zucchini would also work well here. Your vegan friends will also appreciate this delicious option, since the quinoa is a source of complete protein.
