In a small stock pot, combine the quinoa, garlic, salt, coconut milk and water and heat on medium high until simmering, cover and reduce heat to low; cook 15 minutes, remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes. Remove lid and fluff; allow to cool a bit while preparing the rest.
Blend the dressing ingredients and set aside.
Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl (using a food processor here makes fast work of chopping.)
Toast the sunflower seeds with coconut oil for 4 minutes, or until just toasted.
Add the cooled quinoa to the salad bowl, stir in the dressing; top with toasted sunflower seeds. Add additional salt, to taste, and a dash of hot sauce as desired.
