Quinoa Recipes

This protein-rich vegetarian recipe is simple to make and tasty to eat!

An experiment with leftovers yields a delightful, filling vegetarian meal.

This recipe came about because I had just made vegetable enchiladas and had leftovers, plus quinoa from earlier in the week. Thankfully, this experiment yielded a hearty, delicious meal.

Delicious version of my favorite Colombian dish, arroz con pollo. The quinoa provides added protein & fiber, plus some fun mouth-texture, & with the veggies included this is basically a one-dish meal!

Simple recipe for a quick and easy quinoa side dish.

A southwestern twist on quinoa that works as a sidedish or entree. As prepared, a low-to-medium amount of "heat", but easy to adjust depending upon your preferences. For less heat use plain black beans or tomatoes; for more heat, add hot sauce, spices, or peppers to taste.

This substantial salad offers a healthy balance of vegetables and protein. It provides a wide range of textures, colors, and seasonings.

A light pilaf that is filled with protein (quinoa has the highest protein content of any grain) and good nutrients

Ingredients indigenous to the New World, like amaranth, quinoa, and corn, have a natural affinity. In this soup, the amaranth and quinoa add substance and subtle flavor variations to the more familiar taste of sweet corn.

This is my favorite meatloaf recipe ever! The Quinoa adds extra protein and vitamins. To me the Raisins are an absolute must!

These are delicious and healthy, not to mention a great flavourful wrapper for a burger or deli sandwich!

My family loves pasta salad for picnics. Since I haven't been eating pasta as part of my diet, I would just make it and do without. Well, for Labor Day, I realized I didn't have pasta and decided to use some quinoa I had in the pantry. This is tasty, nutty and HEALTHY!! Your family will most likely NOT miss their pasta. Add green and red pepper, chopped onion, small diced broccolli and cauliflower, cucumber and any garden fresh veggie to make even better!

Quinoa is similar to brown rice, with a higher protein content. This is a delicious side dish or light meal.

The quinoa adds a nutty flavor to this simple soup made from packaged, fresh and frozen ingredients.

***UPDATE*** When I was packaging up my leftovers, I realized that this only makes 11 servings, not 13. I have changed the info so it is more accurate now.

Festive and healthy -- a great side dish for a special occasion or any night of the week.

Meatless and incorporates superfoods with bold flavors.

The mint and the parsley is nearly no-cal so use as you desire. Hunter leave out the tomato sub. with fruit.

This is a great salad for a summer potluck or cookout. Proteins from the beans and quinoa also make this a bright summer lunch.

Flax, whole-wheat flour, quinoa, and natural peanut butter pack a nutritional punch in this recipe.

Black beans and quinoa provide plenty of protein- no fake meat needed! I really like these served with seasoned sweet potato fries.

Great high protein alternative to oatmeal. Found this recipe in Martha Stewart magazine. My new favorite breakfast. Takes a while to cook, but you don't have to stand over it. I make four servings without the berries, store three and add the berries to one to eat. Reheat in microwave. You can add more of milk, sugar, cinnamon or blueberries when you serve it -- but remember, that adds more calories and you don't really need it.

These protein-packed veggie burgers will be a hit at your next picnic.
