Quinoa Salad (pronounced: keen-wa)

QUINOA SALAD


6 oz. quinoa
12 oz. water
Follow directions on box for cooking time (Place both the quinoa and the water into a covered saucepan, bring to boil, lower to simmer, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring rarely. You know they're done when the ring separates from the grain)


8 oz. feta (crumbled)
can of chickpeas (rinsed)
cucumber (chopped)
sweet red pepper (chopped)

To your taste:

dill weed
lemon juice
olive oil
salt & pepper

And add what you like:

red onion
celery
artichokes


It's really that easy!

Oooh! I love quinoa. It's like couscous, but with flavor. ;)

I love to make it up almost like Spanish rice style with diced tomatoes, peppers and onions.
