Quinoa - two ways

In summer, I like to cook simple and light.  With high temperatures, who wants hot and heavy food?  Here are two ways to make quinoa: kids friendly, and not as kid friendly.  Make a big bowl of this and eat out of it all day.


Quinoa with:
tomatoes, parsley, sea salt, olive oil and lemon juice

I always start with one cup of quinoa, prepared as the box/bag says.  Next add: tomatoes, sea salt, olive oil and lemon juice...all to taste.




The other way I prepare quinoa is a little more for the adult palate. 
Quinoa with:
parsley, cucumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, and sea salt. 

Again, start out with one cup of quinoa and then add the above ingredients to taste. 

Both of these meal ideas are very easy and quite nutritious.  Easy simple summer cooking!



Smacznego!
