Lemon Quinoa Salad Recipe

Heart Healthy Recipe Diabetes Recipe Gluten Free Recipe
Quinoa (keen-wa) is a delicious, healthy, low fat alternative to rice or pasta. It is packed with more protein than any other whole grain and goes well with meat, fish or vegetables.

Ingredients

    • 1 cup quinoa
    • 2 cups water
    • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
    • Lemon juice from 2 lemons
    • 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and chopped
    • 1/4 medium red onion, chopped
    • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
    • 1 tsp olive oil

Preparation

    • Rinse quinoa in clean water and drain. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, and add in rinsed quinoa. Simmer for about 15 minutes until all water is absorbed. Quinoa should emit a small tail and become tender. Add remaining ingredients to the quinoa, and refrigerate for one half hour before serving.
