Antipasto Quinoa Salad

I just got creative today I guess and threw together this salad for lunch.  It turned out really tasty so I thought I'd share...
"Antipasto Quinoa Salad"

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
Add together in a saucepan. Heat until boiling, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa has "tails." (The grain separates a little when cooked). 

Cool the quinoa then add:
1/4 c. fresh, sliced mushrooms
1/2 can of olives
1/4 c. banana peppers
20 slices of pepperoni
8 oz cherry tomatoes
1/2 c cubed mozzarella cheese 
your favorite Italian dressing, to taste

Toss together and enjoy!
