Chicken Quinoa Poppyseed Salad

I love brown rice salad, but today found I didn't have all the ingredients to make it.  So I improvised and came up with this surprisingly delightful salad.  I think I'll be making this quite a bit :)  Next time I might even add kidney beans.

For all you Costco-lovin' shoppers out there, I found a HUGE 4-pound bag of organic quinoa at Costco for under $10!!!

Um. That looks really good. I would love to see the recipe - is it on SC recipes?

I tried it! It was SO GOOD! Next time though I am going to chop up the artichokes. Eating them whole was a little overwhelming for my mouth. But I'm going to be having it again today, I think!

I made this last night. Quite delicious. John was eating it up so fast that he almost forgot to tell me how wonderful it was. :) Now I finally have a great recipe for quinoa.
