Have you tried quinoa? It is very healthy for you and high in protein! Thanks to my friend Mary for sharing this recipe. I first had it at her lake house this summer and finally made it this week. It is a good, healthy side to any dinner dish. I served with kielbasa but would also serve with chicken.Ingredients:
1 c quinoa
2 c of water or vegetable broth (I used water)
3/4 c snap peas, diced
4 scallions, diced, green part only
1/4 c walnuts, chopped
1/4 dried cherries
Vinaigrette:
4 TBSP canola oil
3 TBSP rice vinegar
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 TBSP reduced sodium soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Directions:
Prepare quinoa by rinsing in cold water. Add quinoa to water (or broth) in sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Let cool in refrigerator.
For vinaigrette: combine ingredients in a jar and shake. Chill in refrigerator.
When quinoa and vinaigrette have chilled, combine all ingredients and chill for several hours before serving.
