Ingredients

1. 3 cups cooked quinoa (white or red)
2. 1/4 cup Italian dressing of your choice
3. 2 TBSP sugar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, stir together quinoa, Italian dressing and sugar.
2. Next, carefully add the peppers and stir together until combined.
3. Take a taste test to make sure it has your desired amount of flavor. If you like a tangier flavor, add in a little more Italian dressing.
4. Enjoy!

Notes

1. Leftovers should be refrigerated. I suggest adding in a dash of dressing to leftovers to give it new life.
