quinoa salad recipe

There's been huge hype on this quinoa recently. What is it exactly? First off, it's delicious, healthy, and filling.
Quinoa is a whole grain, it is cooked just like rice but offers more health benefits. It provides all 9 essential amino acids, lots of protein, and some good carbohydrates. It tastes great, low in cost and quick to make.
I've been playing around with some recipes and here's what I like best:

 To get a little more protein I cooked up a 4oz piece of chicken to add 26g more
to my dinner.
