Tips

I use my preferred veggies and flavorings to this salad, but you can certainly play around with it and add or subtract things that you like or dislike.


Directions

1. Cook Quiona like you would rice, I usually add 2 cups of water to one cup of Quiona let it come to a rapid boil,place a lid on it and let it simmer for 15 minutes (no peeking). Then after the 15 minutes are up I turn off the stove and let it sit there for 5 minutes (still no peeking). After that then you can lift the lid....

2. Take the cooked quiona and place it into a large bowl and refrigerate until cool.

3. add the tomatoes, cucumber and olive oil to the quiona and stir. If you want to add more vegetables to this dish by all means do so, they are the lowest calorie item on the ingredient list.

4. add the garlic, lime juice, parlely, mint, salt and pepper to your preferred liking.

5. Stir well and enjoy.
