Quinoa Watercress Salad

I made this salad yesterday for the bbq that Chad and I hosted. It was a simple bbq with hamburgers and hot dogs, chips and dip, but not much more. So I thought I would make something with veggies and decided on this salad. All I can say is that I was eating it all day.

• 2 Cups Quinoa
• 4 Cups chicken stock
• 1 bunch watercress
• 1 yellow pepper chopped
• 1/2 red onion chopped
• 1 cucumber chopped
• 5 oz. crumbled feta cheese
• about 1 cup grape tomatoes chopped
• about 1 cup toasted pine nuts.
• **balsamic viniagrete**

Rinse quinoa and toast in a dry skillet. Cook quinoa according to package directions and set aside to cool. Wash and chop all veggies and throw them into a bowl with pine nuts. Add cooled quinoa and toss with vinaigrette. Simple and delicious!

**I have no amounts for the vinaigrette but this is what I combined and whisked together**
