This simple quinoa salad with honey mustard dressing is a great quick and easy summer meal. You can prepare it ahead of time and bring it with you on picnics or potlucks.

I made this salad with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers, parsley and basil, but you can really play with the vegetables and herbs that are in season and use whatever you have on hand. The creamy mustard dressing will coat and season all those delicious veggies and quinoa.
