This dish can be prepared in advance and assembled when you are ready to eat. It can be served chilled or the quinoa can be heated to help take the chill off the dish.

To assemble:

Place 1 cup of power greens on the bottom of a large serving bowl. Add a large spoonful or two of quinoa over the greens. Arrange the other ingredients on top of the grain. In a small bowl mix the olive oil with the lime juice, black pepper and parsley, then drizzle over the top of the fresh vegetables.
