quinoa pico salad
(1 rating)
I made variations of this salad all summer. Recently, I took it to a pot luck and had everyone asking me for the recipe. Since it has always been one of those "a little of this, a little of that" recipes, I decided I should probably try to write some of it down. Friends definitely loved this one.
