Honey Mustard Quinoa Salad

I frequently start out with the intention of creating easy recipes.

Really, I do.

And then I get in the kitchen and think...ok, I should add more vegetables, a little bit of this seasoning or that herb. Suddenly my salad that started out with 5 or 6 ingredients has turned into 10 or 12.

When something simple tastes good to my palette, it is cause for celebration.
