Lemon Dressing:
Add dressing ingredients to a jar with a tight fitting lid, or a small bowl. Shake or whisk to combine. Set aside.
Salad:
Add the stock to a small saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil. Add quinoa; turn heat down to low; cover; simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, about 12-15 minutes.
Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork. Transfer to a storage container or large bowl to cool.
Cover when cooled. Refrigerate until chilled. This can be made 1-2 days in advance.
Add chilled quinoa to a large bowl. Add remaining salad ingredients; drizzle on desired amount of dressing; toss.
Serve or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
