Quinoa Salad

The Tone It Up Plan has been a major factor in cleaning up my diet and getting fit. I developed a twist on their Quinoa Salad:

6 c. Baby Spinach (chopped)
1 1/4 c. Uncooked Quinoa
2 8 oz. cans sliced olives
1 can of artichoke hearts
1 tbsp. Garlic Salt
1/4 c. Balsalmic Vinegar

Cook quinoa according to package directions (I usually add in twice the amount of water, put on stovetop and once it is boiling let it simmer for about 12 minutes).

Let quinoa cool.

Mix all ingredients together!

Makes 5 servings (one for each day of the week!)
