You can never lie to the person in the mirror. Facing thruth and admitting weakness is what will ultimately free you to find your strength, your power, and your dreams. That magnetic force is called ego. It keeps each of us from opening our eyes to embrace our frailties, but like the weak link in the chain, unless we find it and fortify it, we will fail when tugged on by life’s biggest missions.” - Chris (Macca) McCormack

1/2 small red onion, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup olives, chopped
1/4 cilantro
Prep:
1) Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. This involves boiling it in water, and takes about 15 minutes.
2) Let it cool a bit, then add all the other ingredients. Stir.
3) Serve either at room temperature or chilled. Leftovers will keep about a week if refrigerated.
