Thinking of one of my friends today as I made a quinoa salad dish for lunch from last nights leftovers. Just throwing in a little of this and that (whatever I have on hand). This was a good one so I'll share the recipe.
Quinoa Salad
- cooked (leftover) quinoa (already seasoned from the night before with salt, pepper, and garlic)
- drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar (to taste)
- chopped pecans (a handful or so)
- gold raisins (about a handful)
- a small bunch of chopped kale
- a bit of chopped apple ( I prefer pink lady...something tart and sweet)
*and I bet this would be even better with crumbled goat's cheese (but I didn't have any).
So we put on our aprons (as we do sometimes when we make food...just for fun). I wore one of my mom's old ones that has been passed down. And there you have it! This could be made in a variety of ways. I've had it with sliced red onions, other types of nuts, cherry tomatoes. And since the quinoa was leftovers I actually liked that it tasted a bit chilled.
