Quinoa Salad

You can put just about anything in this Quinoa Salad. Add/omit based on your preferences. Increase/decrease amounts based on your preferences.

1 Cup Quinoa (uncooked)

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 C chopped scallions

1/2 C Celery chopped

1 Red Pepper chopped

1 Green Pepper chopped

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp coriander

1 can corn (maybe not the whole thing)

Chopped Cilantro to taste (I use a lot)

1 Cup Currants (or you might try raisins)

Dressing:

2 T Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice

1/4 C EVOO

1 tsp salt

pinch cayenne

Soak the quinoa for 15 minutes and then drain, or just run water over it to rinse it. Takes our any bitterness.

Boil 2 cups water, add the 1 cup soaked quinoa, turn down to a simmer, and cook it like rice for 15-20 minutes. Let this cool off.

Then toss it all together and refrigerate it for a few hours. Or you could just eat it right away, but flavors tend to mingle nicely if you let them sit together for a while in the fridge.
