Yesterday, I made my first quinoa salad.
I have to admit something: It has been at least 6 months I ate grains. Curiously enough, I love grains. I don't have to say it again I'm a little oat-addict. But now I'm in love with another grain (or better 'seed'): quinoa.
In the mix:
- red pepper
- cucumber
- a carrot
- spinach
- spring onion
- quinoa (of course)
Seasoning:
- salad herbs
- a tablespoon of lemon juice
- two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
It tastes very well! Next time, I will add some corn and maybe fish (shrimps, tuna or salmon) or poultry (chicken or turkey).
I love lunch time!
i always love the bold contrast of colors too! oh and since u mentioned it, yes salmon or chicken or other proteins would really make this super-charged! and i love the way you made it like this though :)
