I introduced Quinoa to Billy when we first started dating. He loved the texture of this super food. Quinoa is a grain that is considered high in protein. It's also a good source of fiber, magnesium, and even calcium. Billy's mom made this salad once and I asked her for the recipe. I'm not sure if this is the exact thing she did but I did my best to remember. Billy's mom is an amazing cook and I'm sure I will share more of her recipes on my blog!
Instructions:
I cucumber chopped
2.25 oz sliced olives
8oz corn
half red onion chopped
1/3c red wine vinegar
1/3c EVOO
Juice of one lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3c pine nuts (optional)
Cook Quinoa as directed on box. Wait until cool and combine all ingredients. You could even throw fresh herbs in at the end like parsley or cilantro. Enjoy it with some grilled chicken or have it for lunch either way it's great for you and great tasting!
