Cook quinoa: Place 1 cup quinoa (rinsed and drained) in a medium saucepan with 1 ½ cups water (or vegetable broth for more flavor). Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
Make dressing: While quinoa is cooking, place all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
Prepare vegetables: Dice tomatoes and bell pepper. Slice green onions. Roughly chop fresh basil. Rinse and drain garbanzo beans.
Assemble salad: When quinoa is done cooking, let it cool for a few minutes. Then place quinoa and all other salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Add dressing: Pour dressing over the top and toss well to combine. Taste and adjust flavors if desired. (Add more salt, vinegar, lemon juice, etc.)
Serving: You can serve this dish immediately or let it chill covered in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the flavors intensify.
