One of my favorite quinoa recipes is this salad.  It is a light dish that would be great for any get together.  It keeps for a couple of days so you can make it in advance!



What you need:

  1 cup of cooked Quinoa,   2 cups of vegetable stock,

        1 clove of garlic,  1 large red onion, 1 large green pepper, 1/4 cup fresh parsley, 1/4 cup fresh chives, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cumin (I also like smoked cumin)  1 can of black beans-drained, cherry or grape tomatoes chopped, 2/3 cup lemon or lime juice, 1 T balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil



What you do:

     Take the first 2 ingredients and cook in saucepan on stove.  Once stock is absorbed remove garlic clove.  Let cool.

Mix the remaining ingredients together and then toss with quinoa.

    Chill for at least 2 hours and then serve.
