     1/2   c            Crumbled low-fat goat cheese
     1/3   c            Chopped fresh parsley
     1/3   c            Chopped fresh tarragon
     1/3   c            Snipped fresh chives
     1/3   c            Lemon juice
   1       tb           Extra-virgin olive oil

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan over high heat, bring one
  quart water to a boil. Add the peas. Cook for about 4
  minutes, or until tender; do not overcook. Drain and
  rinse under cold water. 2. Place the quinoa in a large
  bowl. Add the peas, goat cheese, parsley, tarragon and
  chives. Toss lightly. 3. In a cup, whisk together the
  lemon juice and olive oil. Pour over the salad.
  Note: To cook the quinoa, bring 2 cups of water or
  stock to a boil in a 2- quart saucepan. Add 1 cup of
  quinoa. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook
  for 10-15 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
  Drain off any remaining liquid. Fluff with a fork to
  separate the grains. Allow to cool before combining in
  salad.
