Quinoa and Vegetable Salad with Tahini Dressing

Recipe by Real Simple.

This salad is amazing! It's the perfect amount of sweet and tangy. I could have had only this salad for dinner and I would have been content. Actually, you could have this salad as a meal, it's quite filling. The dressing isn't shown here because I served it on the side. It's best not to toss this salad before serving, otherwise the beats will turn your whole salad purple!
