Cilantro lime quinoa

I don't know about you, but I love the combination of cilantro and lime. So you can imagine my excitement when one of my favorite fitness bloggers posted this recipe yesterday. I went right to the store to pick up the ingredients I didn't have at home, whipped this up for dinner last night and served it with some pan seared tuna steaks. It was DELISH! To me, this is a perfect summer side dish: light, refreshing, and super simple to make. A few people asked me to share the recipe, so here it is. Enjoy!
