Quinoa is a grain that is rich in protein and can be used as a filler for salads, stuffing, for making patties etc. This is easily available in all the stores here. This quinoa salad was served by a friend of mine and I simply loved it. I almost eat it like a whole meal :) It is such a flexible recipe that you can add new things to it or delete some of the existing ones and still make it different and tasty.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup- Quinoa (soaking for 2 hours is preferred to fasten the process)
1-Red Bell Pepper (fine chop)
1-green bell pepper (fine chop)
1-orange bell pepper(optional) (fine chop)
1/2cup-corn (steamed in microwave for 5 mins)
1/4 cup-black beans from can (rinse them with water)
1 or 2 green chillies (finely chopped)
lemon juice, salt, pepper as per your own taste.
Few scallions(spring onions) finely chopped.
Method:
Cook quinoa with 2 cups water. It should not be over cooked. So keep stirring in between. It may take about 20-25 minutes to cook.
Once it is cooked, it is recommended to rinse it and remove starches. But it depends on your choice.
Add all the above ingredients to the cooked quinoa and mix it well. It is served either chilled or on room temperature.
