Just a quicky post, here. Been a bit busy with Valentine's happenings and the like. My current favorite salad deserves a mention. I've been trying to eat healthier, which includes limiting meat to a meal a day. This salad satisfies the basic urge for protein and can be jazzed up in many ways. Fantastic paired with a main dish item, but even better just on it's own.
Quinoa Salad
-1 cup dry Quinoa, cooked per package instructions
-2 tbsp olive oil (preferably the good stuff)
-juice from one lemon
1/2 cup Italian parsley
1/3 cup feta, crumbled
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
salt and pepper to taste
While quinoa is still warm, mix in oil and lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Add other ingredients and toss.
Serve at room temp or right out of the fridge.
This is a very adaptable recipe. If you had them around, tomatoes would make a fine addition. You can also substitute almond or walnuts for the hazelnuts.
