Quinoa Summer Salad
Beautiful fresh summer salad that you can have had any time of the year. Perfect to make up for guests or to take to a pot luck as it looks so beautiful you just want to share or simple enjoy yourself. Looks stunning and tastes really fresh. I served this up with some simple roast chicken and it was amazing!
INGREDIENTS
Quinoa Red Capsicum Yellow Capsicum Snow peas Tomatoes Spring onion Fresh Parsley Avocado Oil Lemons
Cooking Instructions
To cook quinoa, first cover with water and soak over night. Then drain.
Place soaked quinoa in a pot and cover with double the amount of water, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until you see the quinoa open up and soften.
While quinoa cooking, bring some water to boil and drop snow peas in for 1 minute then remove.
Remove from heat the quinoa, drain any extra water and allow to cool.
Chopped and slice all the other vegetables and place in a bowl, drizzle with some oil and squeeze the juice of 2 large lemons over.
Once quinoa cooled stir through other ingredients and serve.
