Ingredients




1 1/2 cups quinoa
3 cups water
2 medium size tomatoes
a bunch of green onions
1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Preparation

1 Put your quinoa and your water in a pan. Heat over medium heat until bubbling, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. 2 While your quinoa is cooking, get out and wash your green onions and tomatoes. Chop them roughly. 3 Chop a lemon in half and squeeze one half's juice into a bowl, picking out the seeds. 4 Let your quinoa cool. A little warm is fine. 5 Add olive oil, lemon juice, and tomatoes and green onions to the pan. Stir. 6 Add salt and pepper to your liking. 7 Serve chilled

About


A super healthy and super easy recipe. I like to keep this in the fridge at all times -great for a quick snack and tasty over lettuce! Quinoa is packed with protein which makes it a great food for vegetarians.
