Artichoke and Pesto Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

"Just planted a couple of big basil plants for my garden so I was in a pesto mood. Artichoke hearts, feta and kalamata olives rounded out this Mediterranean inspired quinoa salad. Sophie tasted it after I added each ingredient, for “quality assurance” until we decided we’d hit a home run, with just the right combination of ingredients. Spencer gave it an, “Oh, my goodness! This is the kind of dish I can’t stop eating!” , which is a good thing in my book! We ate nearly the whole batch for a light vegetarian dinner, but it would be a great side dish with Beef or Chicken Kebabs"
