I hadn’t tried Quinoa until last year but since then I have been hooked.
My favourites are the coconut quinoa that Annie shared with me… and this Quinoa salad…
it is so easy to make, simple and fresh and full of flavour…
It is one of those non-recipes…where you just throw things in and adjust the taste as needed…
First, cook the Quinoa the same as you would rice….
When cooked and cooled a bit (but still a bit warm), add some chopped up veggies…I like adding peppers and carrots and celery. Then add a bit of olive oil, some salt or tamari to taste, some fresh (or dried) parsley, a bit of garlic powder and I like adding a bit of curry powder which seems to bring all of the other flavours out…
This is just a simple salad that can be eaten as a side, and because it is so complete nutritionally it can also be a meal in itself and keeps well and travels well…

Okay, this is a long one (a total of 20 minutes), but I really enjoyed it. If there was a show called “The David Lynch Cooking Hour”, I’d be watching.
