Cover and simmer until grains are tender and water is absorbed (15-20 minutes). Remove quinoa from heat and rest 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and fluff lightly with a fork to separate grains. Add radicchio, balsamic, olive oil, lemon zest, cherries, pistachios, chives and parsley. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. May be served warm or chilled.
