Weezie's Quinoa Salad

Name: Weezie''s Quinoa Salad Recipe
Yield: 10
Ingredients: I'm guessing at ingredient amounts as I threw this salad together on the fly with no recipe. What I've entered is pretty close though. It makes a giant salad bowl full... and I'm estimating it garners around 10 pretty big servings.; Simply cook the quinoa (1 part quinoa to 2 parts water) in your rice cooker.; Chop veggies to your liking; Toss together with lemon juice olive oil & cracked black pepper to taste.

Very good! I used lime juice instead of lemon, added some cilantro and salsa verde. Delicious! - 4/21/09

This reminds me of a recipe I have for "great grain salad" - it's kind of a choose-your-own-adventure approach to salad making. I like it! - 8/22/10

I've been wanting to try quinoa for awhile, so today was the day. I whipped up a batch of Weezie's Quinoa early this morning, brought some to work for lunch, and IT IS WONDERFUL! So fresh tasting! So different! This one's a keeper. I did add some lightly sauteed sliced mushrooms to mine, and yum! - 5/28/09
