Description

Quinoa—an ancient forgotten grain. This one’s packed with veggies!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Quinoa Grain
  • 4 cups Water
  • 1 whole Avocado, diced
  • 1 whole Tomato, Diced
  • 1 whole Cucumber, Peeled And Diced
  • Fresh Spinach Leaves
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
  • Olive Oil

Preparation

Cook quinoa according to package directions (2 cups of quinoa to 4 cups boiling water, cook like rice until all water is absorbed, about 10 to 20 minutes).

Add veggies galore.

I added avocado, fresh tomatoes, and cucumbers. Add the juice of 1 lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.

Place a bed of fresh spinach leaves on your plate. Then mound with the quinoa filling.

My children all like different seasonings, so I leave it plain. My oldest boy usually adds Italian dressing. My oldest daughter and I love it with my Greek Salad Dressing (look for it in my recipe box). Sometimes I just sprinkle it with Morton Nature’s Seasons Seasoning Blend (no MSG).

In the photo, it’s served with a side of sautéed mushrooms seasoned with Morton Nature’s Seasons Seasoning Blend.

Quinoa is my absolute favorite thing to mix-in veggies with. I’ve yet to try avocadoes in mine–good idea!

This looks good. Very good. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen quinoa in the store, but I will look for it. I am assuming that you serve it chilled? Or at room temperature?
