Quinoa Salad

Is it just me or do the cooking instructions for grains always make waaaaay too much? This is my favorite thing to do to get rid of some of the leftovers. If you have any ideas about what else to do to use up grains, let me know.

Quinoa Salad
Chopped romaine lettuce
chopped cucumbers
sliced onions
1/4 cup leftover quinoa (mine had peas and banana peppers) or couscous
1 handful sunflower seeds

Check out the NYTimes Recipes for Health Quinoa page: http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/health/series/recipes_for_health/quinoa/index.html

I really enjoyed their quinoa and squash gratin, and it was good leftover for lunch. The quinoa, corn and edamame salad sounds good, too, but I haven't tried it yet.
