Recipe: Quinoa salad
The salad features veggies and a light dressing, making for a filling lunch or dinner dish.
Posted — UpdatedWe are a house divided in the quinoa department. My older daughter and I love the grain, which is packed with fiber and protein. My husband and younger daughter ... not so much.
I've cooked it a variety of ways, but my favorite way to eat it is cold in a salad that's filled with veggies and a light dressing. It's a healthy and filling lunch or dinner side dish or, even, main course.
1/2 cup of a protein such as Feta cheese or chickpeas
salt and pepper to taste
Cook the quinoa according to the instructions. While it's cooking and cooling, chop up your vegetables and make the dressing. Once the quinoa is cooled, toss together the quinoa, veggies, protein and dressing. Let it chill for about an hour or so and eat!
