Ingredients
Quinoa, Arrowhead Mills Organic Quinoa, (1 entire bag)Yellow Peppers (bell peppers), 1 pepper, large Cucumber (with peel), 1 cucumber Broccoli, fresh, 3 cup, chopped Cilantro, raw, 4 tbspFeta Cheese, 1 cup, crumbledMaple Grove Farms Blueberry Pomegranate Dressing, 6 tbsp Red Ripe Tomatoes, 2 medium whole Garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
Cook your quinoa. Cooking ratio is 1 cup grain to 2 cups water. 1 bag is 2-1/2 cups.
While your quinoa is cooking chop up your veggies and the feta. I like to chop the feta in little squares. Place it all in a large mixing bowl. Quinoa takes about 15 minutes to cook. Once it is done take it off the burner and let it cool a bit. You can cool the quinoa faster by putting cold water in your sink and placing the pot in it or pouring the quinoa into a glass or stainless bowl (don't put hot foods in plastic) and place in the fridge. Once it is cooled add it to your veg mixture and pour the dressing over it. I prefer a light dressing but you can put as much as you want on there. The cilantro adds great flavor. Add some garlic, salt, and pepper and mix it up. Serve or chill for later.
Serving Size: Makes ~ 12 - 1 cup servings
