TDC Quinoa Salad
Quinoa Salad 6-8 servings Ingredients
4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 3 tsp. ground cumin 6 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice 2 tsp. sea salt 3 cups cooked quinoa 1 cup cooked peas 1 cup cooked black beans 6 green onions, chopped fine 1 large organic yellow or green bell pepper, stemmed and diced 1 large organic red bell pepper, stemmed, diced 1 ½ cup fresh parsley, coarsely chopped 3-5 oz. organic feta cheese, crumbled (add as desired)
Tips Quinoa is a gluten-free grain that is high in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. When preparing quinoa, the small seeds should be washed thoroughly before cooking to remove the bitter coating called saponin or buy prewashed quinoa. To enhance the flavors, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Substitute black beans or peas with cooked corn.
Directions 1. In a large bowl, add quinoa, peas and black beans. 2. Cut off about 3 inches from green tops of onions. Chop finely. Put into the large bowl along with bell peppers, parsley and feta cheese. Mix all ingredients together. 3. In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, salt and lemon juice. Whisk ingredients together thoroughly before pouring over salad mixture. Mix ingredients one last time before serving.
