Quinoa Salad
Vegan recipes from Green Cuisine by Andy Cunningham
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups water 1 cup quinoa 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped) 2 stems green onions (finely sliced) 2-3 sprigs fresh cilantro (chopped) 2 sprigs fresh basil (chopped) 1 medium tomato (diced) 1/4 medium red pepper (finely diced) 1/4 cup corn 1/8 cup sunflower oil 1/8 cup cider vinegar 1/3 cup salsa 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cumin
Directions
Rinse quinoa in cold water thoroughly. Bring water and quinoa to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, then let it sit for 10 minutes, off the
heat. Empty cooked quinoa into a bowl and spread it out to cool. Try not to over stir the quinoa as it makes it mushy. Add the chopped vegetables. Mix the remaining ingredients together and toss everything lightly.
Quinoa is a delicious grain and complete protein. This recipe does not overpower its subtlety.
