It's almost silly to call this Rainbow Quinoa a recipe. Adding quinoa to any salad is a fab idea. It's naturally gluten-free, it's packed with B vitamins, fiber, and it's one of few plant foods that are actually considered a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. WHAT! Yes. Quinoa is such a great staple to a nutritarian diet.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Quinoa rinsed
- 2 cup water
- 1 tomatoes Diced
- 1 cup Broccoli chopped
- 1 cup Sweet pepper Red or Orange, diced
- 4 Cherry Tomatoes
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small pot, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and cover. Let cook for 15 minutes.
- Once quinoa is cooked, transfer to a large mixing bowl and add in vegetables. Pour your choice of dressing into quinoa a little at a time or squeeze fresh lemon juice over top. If you must, sprinkle with a little salt (but just know that’s really not recommended on ETL.)
- Optional: For an extra kick, scratch the lemon juice and instead, add the cumin dressing that's linked in the recipe description...
