For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the quinoa in a dry pan for a few minutes before cooking it in the broth. This will enhance its nutty taste. Feel free to customize this salad with other Mediterranean vegetables, such as cucumbers, bell peppers, or artichoke hearts. If you don't have fresh parsley on hand, dried parsley can be substituted. Use about 1 tablespoon of dried parsley for every 1/4 cup of fresh parsley. This salad can be served as a side dish, a light lunch, or even as a vegetarian main course. It also makes a great potluck dish.
