Quinoa, Tomato and Bean Salad

I needed a side dish for our turkey burgers last night, so I decided to make a fun salad.  I had all of the ingredients in my refrigerator/pantry, so I just threw it all together easily.  It was so yummy and SO GOOD FOR YOU!!

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 can of white beans (you could use any beans you like.  I just had these on hand)

1 pint of tomatoes halved or quartered

20-25 basil leaves cut into ribbons

3 garlic cloves

the juice from half a lemon

salt and pepper to taste
