Rainbow Quinoa Salad [quick and easy]

Rainbow Quinoa Salad

I always struggle trying to select my favorite vegan recipe to take to a potluck.  I want to be sure that what I bring is sufficient enough for me, in case there are no other options, but also that it shows that vegan food is delish!  This Rainbow Quinoa Salad was a winner!! Watch the video to see it all come together, quickly and easily!

Another key feature of those potluck meals is their ability to withstand transport and hold up while on the buffet.  The addition of the avocado at the time of serving is quick – just bring a knife and a spoon and you can cut, dice, and spoon it right onto your buffet dish! PERFECT!
