Instructions:

1. Cook the Quinoa Similar to rice:
   Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
   In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa and     salt.
   Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is           tender and the liquid is absorbed.
   Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
2. Prepare the Stir-Fried Vegetables:
   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
   Add the julienned red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, carrot, and broccoli florets.
   Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
   Add the soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and         cook for another 1-2 minutes.
   Remove from heat and let the vegetables cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon               mustard, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Assemble the Salad:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and stir-fried vegetables.
   Pour the dressing over the quinoa and vegetables, and toss gently to coat everything           evenly.
5. Serve:
   Serve the quinoa salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on your               preference. Enjoy as a main dish or a side!
