Quinoa Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing

Like many people, I love peanut butter. Peanut butter cookies, peanut butter dipping sauce, peanut butter out of the jar… peanut butter anything! So when a late-night search for “ quinoa salads with peanut butter ” returned this recipe for quinoa salad with spicy peanut dressing , I didn’t hesitate to bookmark it and use it as inspiration for my lunch the next day. For the veggies, I used what I had on hand in the fridge, which was cucumber as well as orange and purple carrots (read my post on the awesomeness of purple carrots ). If you can’t find purple carrots, then feel-free to substitute with any other colorful veggie – purple cabbage and/or red/yellow capsicum (bell pepper) would be great.
