Long time, no recipe. The weather and my garden are stirring up some inspiration in the kitchen. Today, I present a simple Quinoa salad.
Ingredients :
1 cup uncooked Quinoa
1/2 bag of Wegman’s Tex-Mex Blend veggies thawed but chilled.
Or you could get fresh corn, red and green bell pepper and onion. I just used what I had on hand and what I know Spawnbeast will eat.
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of lemon and lime juices
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of fresh parsley or cilantro (or both, I’m not a cop.)
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Cook and chill quinoa. After the chill, add in veggies and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients together to taste. I suggest adding the lemon and lime juice in parts in case you don’t like things as tangy as I do.
Once mixed, either chill until serving time or dig in!
It was hard not to eat the whole bowl while chicken was grilling!
Enjoy! Let me know what you think!!
Stay tuned…
