Fattoush Quinoa Salad in 3 Steps

Here is my take on one of my favorite Middle Eastern salads, called Fattoush. Fattoush traditionally has lettuce and pita bread, but I have replaced the two with quinoa. I have never been a fan of lettuce, it's a long story, people :). 

It takes 15 minutes to prepare this salad, so you can make it on a weeknight, and save some for lunch next day.
