Colourful Quinoa and Strawberry Salad

I like what balsamic gives to strawberries, but if you want a lighter dressing change up the balsamic for a white wine or apple cider vinegar.

3 cups cooked and cooled quinoa
2 tbsps fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 yellow pepper, chopped
1 celery stalk and leaves, chopped
1 cup chopped strawberries

1/4 cup lime juice
3 tbsps balsamic vinegar
6 tbsps olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin

Prepare your first 5 ingredients and mix them in a large bowl.
Mix the dressing together and stir into the salad.  
Refrigerating the salad for a couple of hours gives the flavours a chance to blend.
Great as a main or side dish
