The inspiration for this recipe came to me one day when I was trying to figure out what to do with some leftover quinoa. I had already eaten it for breakfast and lunch, and I didn't want to just eat it plain for dinner. So I started experimenting with different ingredients, and this salad was born. I started with the quinoa, black beans, and edamame as a base, and then I added grilled halloumi for some protein and flavor. The cucumber, tomato, and red onion added freshness and crunch, and the cilantro added a bright, herbaceous flavor. The result was a salad that was both delicious and satisfying, and it's now one of my favorite go-to recipes.
