In a saucepan, combine the quinoa, water and diced carrots. Bring to a boil, then stir once, cover and let cook on very-low for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit another couple of minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. Melt peanut butter in the microwave or over the stove and then whisk together with all other dressing ingredients.
Put the green onions, peppers, peanuts, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl. Add the quinoa/carrot mix when it's done, pour the dressing over the top and mix until the dressing is evenly coating the whole mixture.
Serve warm or cold.
