Fresh Quinoa Salad


Fresh Quinoa and Bean Salad


This is another simple and highly nutritious meal option you can add to your collection.

This can be made with either White or Red Quinoa.... Tonight, I opted for red as I always cook with white.

What you NEED:


1/2 C uncooked Quinoa
1 C water
1/2 Black beans or Chic Peas
1 Tbsp Parsley
1 Tbsp chopped Walnuts
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar



HOW TO:
1- Prepare your Quinoa according to the instructions ( Boil 1 cup Water, add quinoa, bring to a boil again, reduce, cover for 5-15 minutes, depending on red or white Quinoa, fluff with fork when done)
2- Place cooked quinoa in bowl, and add beans
3- Mix your Oil, Vinegar and lemon juice together and drizzle over mixture. MIX WELL
4- Add your parsley  and enjoy
