| This is actually my bowl of this recipe. Yum! |
If you haven't read my other blog about what I think about Quinoa, you can find it here. This is a great recipe and super healthy! (Only some of my kids liked this. Too many veggies for some of them.) :) This recipe is from allrecipes.com and can be found here. As a side, this serves 8 - about 1 cup each.
2 cups water (I actually recommend chicken broth instead of water for additional flavor)
1 cup quinoa
1 pinch salt
1/4 c. olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 c. lemon juice
3 tomatoes, diced
1 cucumber, diced
2 bunches green onions, diced
2 carrots, grated
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
In a saucepan, bring water (chicken broth) to a boil. Add quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature; fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, in a large green bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, tomatoes, cucumber, green onion, carrots, and parsley. Stir in cooled quinoa.
NUTRITION:
Plain quinoa is 5 points plus per cup. This recipe is also aprox. 5 points plus per cup.
