How to Prepare Quinoa Salad with Turmeric Tahini Dressing [Vegan]

Cook the quinoa according to package instructions until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Tip the quinoa into a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients and set it aside to cool.
While the quinoa is cooling, whisk together the salad dressing ingredients until emulsified.
Add the remaining salad ingredients to the quinoa and mix well. Stir in the dressing and serve right away. If packing the salad in a lunchbox, store the dressing separately and mix before eating.
