Description

This easy and tasty quinoa salad will delight your family with savory goodness!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Quinoa, Soaked Overnight In A Bowl Of Water
  • 3 cups Vegetable Stock, Or Chicken Stock If Not Vegetarian
  • 2-½ cups Cucumber, Diced
  • ¾ cups Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
  • ½ cups Pine Nuts, Lightly Toasted
  • ½ cups Red Onion, Chopped Fine
  • ½ cups Parsley, Chopped
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2 teaspoons Lemon Zest
  • 1 pinch Salt To Taste
  • 1 pinch Pepper To Taste

Preparation

Drain the quinoa then put it in a pot with the stock. Bring to a boil on the stove top, reduce to simmer, cover and cook for 10–15 minutes until done. Quinoa is done when the water is gone. You may also cook quinoa in a rice cooker the same way that you would cook rice. Allow quinoa to cool.

Combine all the other ingredients with the cooled quinoa and serve.

Inspired by a weight loss recipe that I was given by the nutritionist at work.
