Red Quinoa Salad

My aunt gave me the gift of red quinoa for Christmas with this recipe. It was yummy, like a Mediterranean salad. It was perfect timing on the ingredients too since the hubby has been buying too many cucumbers and tomatoes lately. He doesn't like mint, so I would opt for parsley instead. I also added red onion instead of shallots (since it's what I had on hand). I didn't think the red wine vinegar amount was enough, so I ended up adding fresh squeezed lemon juice--perfect! One trick I read after the fact suggested using chicken broth instead of water for the quinoa soak. Overall, a very healthy and delicious dish!
