- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
2 cups Quinoa, cooked & chilled (this is 1/2 cup when uncooked)1/2 Avocado, cubed1/2 cup Romaine Lettuce (any type of lettuce will do)1 tbsp Red Onion (you can also use any type of onion--yellow if you prefer a milder flavour)1 clove Garlic, smashed and minced1/2 cup Tangerine sections1 tsp sugar (Optional - I put this in b/c my tangerines were not very sweet)1 tsp Chilli Olive Oil (Optional)1 beet, finely sliced
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
The onion can be quite strong, so if you prefer, leave it out or sauté it first.
Tip: shake in a 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger to counter any gassy effects that the raw onions and garlic might cause some people.
Add salt and pepper to taste. If you're not in a hurry, you can stick this in the fridge for an hour or so to allow the flavours to mingle.
And Voila! Easy Peasy!
