Quinoa Summer Salads are EVERYWHERE

I recently tried quinoa and lub it.  I've been seeing summer salad recipes using quinoa popping up everywhere.  So I made my own.

Asparagus, chickpea, red onion Quinoa Salad

*The dressing I used was fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper, dijon mustard, and olive oil. 

It is sooo good.  I'm letting the flavors meld a little more before going back for more.

Work and my internship are left for my monday. Woooo.

 The top 5 things I learned about NYC:
1. It is not hard to get around aka there aren't 1 million people walking at you like I assumed from tv
2. Huge buildings like Rockefeller center and Grand Central Station are MALLS they have tons of stores and restaurants in the bottom level of them
3. The subway is quite literally the smartest invention in the world and SO fast
4. The blocks aren't HUGE, the first day Maggie and I walked from 33 to 72 without even realizing we'd gone so far
5. I could and want to live there some day.
