Quinoa salad with many veggies
Give quinoa a try. It's one of the easiest whole grains to prepare, and it's very versatile. It's related to spinach and it has high concentrations of essential amino acids. This is a super easy, filling salad which you can modify any way. Use whatever vegetables you have on hand. Just roast them whole, or give them a rough chop and saute them.
2cups of dry quinoa will feed about 4 people when cooked.
To prpeare quinoa, rinse with cold water, then boil just like pasta for about 12 minutes. Drain well and spread out on a plate to dry and fluff a bit.
A recent veggie medley included onions, bok choy, spinach, snap peas, carrots, and red pepper.
Saute' all veggies over med-hi heat in a sesame oil blend. Add spices of your choice, five spice makes a nice aromatic. Serve veggies on top of quinoa and drizzle with soy sauce. Leftovers are great eaten as a cold salad the next day.
