Salad
1 cup dry quinoa
10 baby carrots chopped width-wise
¼ red onion chopped in to small cubes (about ½ cup)
½ green pepper chopped
½ red pepper chopped
1 cup thinly sliced spinach
¼ cup chopped sundried tomato
1-2tbs Dried Dill, to taste
Salt/Pepper to taste
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (optional)
Dressing
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs lime juice
1 tbs honey
Directions
- Cook quinoa. I boil just like pasta for 9minutes and strain. Easiest way to cook it to your particular doneness. Set aside and let cool while you prep the veg.
- Chop all veg and add to cooled quinoa. For a side dish, leave as is, for a complete meal add the chicken breast.
- Mix olive oil, lime juice and honey. Then add to quinoa and veg mixture.
- Add dill, salt and pepper to taste
