Preparation Instructions

Place the quinoa, bouillon or salt in a saucepan with at least twice the amount of water. Bring up to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender to the bite. Add a bit more hot water if the water boils off and the quinoa is not tender.

Toss the peaches with the fresh herbs, seeds, olive oil and lemon juice.

Fold the quinoa & squash in to the remaining ingredients.
Serve warm, cool or at room temperature.
