Shrimp and Quinoa Salad

I may not have been at a picnic, but I found the perfect picnic dish last night.  When cooking up supper, I didn't have outdoor food in mind, but I'm thinking it may be perfect for open air soirees this Spring/Summer. 

Mix quinoa, halved grape tomatoes, avocado, ricotta salata (or feta if you can't find it), and shrimp.  Then toss with a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper.  That's it.  I let the rice cooker do all the work with the quinoa and only had to bother myself to chop the tomatoes and avocado.  I bought raw, cleaned shrimp and those suckers take approximately one minute to boil up.  I can't think of a single other thing I can do in one minute.  Tie my shoes, perhaps?  Only on a good day.
