I doubled to bring to a potluck and it turned out great. I liked so much that I made more for myself the next day but didn't have any lemon left so used a little lime juice and olive oil and no honey, not as good as when I followed the recipe. Also, it is good served at room temperature or cool.

This is one recipe that I keep coming back to. It is so easy to make and using fresh peaches with the quinoa is unusual but delicious! Everyone who I've made this for has liked it.
