In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook until all of the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Let the quinoa cool to room temperature.
To the quinoa, add the artichoke hearts, roasted peppers and basil.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and stir to combine. Serve or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
The Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, agave nectar, salt and pepper.
