Cheyana's Quinoa Salad
One of my favorite dishes at our summer potluck, this delicious quinoa salad is a very loose recipe, so you can include your favorite ingredients for a tasty treat!
1.5 cups of quinoa to 3 cups of water (boil and simmer for about 10 min until quinoa is fluffy; set aside to cool)
Chop up leftover vegetables in your fridge: snap peas, mushrooms, peppers, green beans, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli, black/garbanzo beans, whatever you have on hand.
Dressing: approx. 4 Tbl olive oil, 2 Tbl apple cider vinegar, salt & pepper to taste. (Amount depends how big the salad is with the vegetables added. You just want a light coat of dressing to cover the whole dish...
Combine once the quinoa is cooled to room temperature and enjoy!
NOTE: Quinoa is usually found on the rice aisle of the grocery store, and is cooked just like rice, so feel free to throw it in your cooker if you have one. For even more flavor, substite half or all of the water with low-sodium vegetable broth.
