A much asked for recipe I wanted to share with you. This was a huge hit at the bbq we attended over the weekend. So much so that they kept it all & requested that we bring the recipe to the next baseball game. Of course I completely winged it. Aren't those the best recipes? Here is how I did it - let me know what you think!
"Its so refreshing"
Quinoa Salad
2 cups uncooked Quinoa 1 cup water
1 cucumber
½ purple onion
6 mini sweet peppers
2 navel oranges
1 tomato {diced & seeded}
1 canned corn
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil ½ lemon {zest & juice}
1} Combine Quinoa & water in large sauce pan. Cover & Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium for 15 minutes. Stirring occasionally to avoid sticking to pan.
2} Combine oil , drained canned corn , zest of ½ a lemon & squeezed lemon juice in sauté pan. Cook over medium until browned a little.
3} In a 10x13 dish combine corn & quinoa . Put in fridge to cool.
4} While quinoa & corn are cooling – prep the vegetables. Dice cucumber, onion, mini peppers & tomato. Peel & chop navel oranges.
5} Combine all ingredients into large serving bowl. Serve cold.
