Description

Looking for that BLT fix without the guilt? Look no further.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Vegetable Or Chicken Broth
  • ¾ cups Dried Quinoa, Rinsed Thoroughly
  • 1 pound Lean Bacon, Chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons White Balsamic Vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons Dried Thyme
  • ⅛ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoons Dried Dill
  • 10 cups Fresh Spring Greens
  • 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes, Halved

Preparation

Bring broth to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Add quinoa and return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium high and cook quinoa for roughly 20 minutes, or until all the broth has been absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook chopped bacon until crisp, stirring frequently. Remove cooked bacon from the pan and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

With the skillet over medium-high heat, add the vinegar, garlic, salt, thyme, pepper, and dill. Stirring consistently, heat until mixture is thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl toss together quinoa, greens, tomatoes, bacon and dressing and serve immediately.
