Greek Quinoa Salad

I am loving the hot weather, but who wants to eat a heavy meal when it's this hot outside? I thought a nice refreshing salad that is high in protien would be a fun post for today. You could easily make a meal off my Greek Quinoa Salad, or you could throw some burgers or sausage on the grill, and serve it as a yummy side to any summer meal!
