Directions
Add all of the salad ingredients to a bowl and mix together.
Add the dressing ingredients to a mason jar or bowl and shake the mason jar (with lid on) or whisk together in a bowl until all of the tahini is dissolved. Taste for more ingredients of choice (more oregano for herb flavor, lemon for acidic, or maple syrup for sweetness).
Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and mix well.
Stir in parsley, if using, and add salt and pepper to taste, if using.
Chill your vegan quinoa salad for at least one hour in the refrigerator or overnight.
