Dressing
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Meanwhile, chop the veggies if you haven't already while the quinoa is cooking.
- Once quinoa is cooked, fluff with a fork.

Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Pour over your quinoa bowl and toss.
