BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad

This salad is AMAZING!!!  I have been trying to eat a little better and I have been looking for something that I can use quiona in.  We tried eating it plain and it was not very good, but I just knew that there was a special recipe for quinoa, and this. is. it!!!  My kids went back for 3 or 4 helpings of this and Jax wanted to take it to school for lunch the next day.  Amazing!!
