Easy Asian Quinoa Slaw

The ingredients are actually surprisingly simple and affordable. All you need is some red cabbage (you can either chop it yourself, or buy it bagged), shredded carrots, green onions, almonds (slivered or sliced), and lots of cooked quinoa. I went with red quinoa, but any color will do.
