Cooking instruction summary:

Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add quinoa and stir. Cover and reduce heat. Allow quinoa to simmer on medium-low heat until all water is cooked off, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Be careful not to burn your quinoa. Allow to cool. Place cooled quinoa into a large bowl (preferably something with an airtight lid). Add all remaining ingredients and gently stir until very well-mixed. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. Stir again before serving. Can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for two or three days. But it's best on the first day, when the veggies are still fresh and crisp!

Food Joke

Shul goer As Daniel and his wife Naomi are coming out of shul one shabbes, she says to him, "That Robson girl has put on a lot of weight, dear. Maybe she’s pregnant. What do you think?" "The Robson girl? If she was there, I didn`t see her," replies Daniel. "And did you see that flirty Sharon Kay winking at the boys? Disgraceful, don’t you think, dear?" "I must have been looking the other way when this happened," he replies. "And what do you think about the short dress Rivkah Levy was wearing? That can’t be the right thing for a mother of three children to wear in shul. Don’t you agree, dear?" asks Naomi. "Sorry darling," replies Daniel, "but I didn’t notice her dress." "Well then, you must have seen Kitty Usum drinking all those glasses of wine during Kiddush," she says. "I wasn`t watching Kitty," says Daniel. "Oh for goodness sake," shouts Naomi, "I don’t know why you bother to go to shul these days."
