Chicken & Quinoa Tossed Salad

Quinoa is a great replacement for pasta or white rice in many dishes.  One of my favorite ways to use Quinoa is in this salad:

Toss together-
2/3 c. cooked quinoa
1/4 c. baby spinach
1/4 c. shredded carrots

Add-
3 oz. chopped grilled chicken (or 1 can of lean chicken breast)
2 T. blue cheese
1 T. dried cranberries or cherries
1T. chopped walnuts

Dress it with-
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. olive oil

Voile!  This is so easy and so yummy!  Quinoa can be found in most stores now....I personally get it at Trader Joe's.
