Makes: 4 Servings
Preparation: 15mns Total time: 30mns Benefits: The quinoa seed is high in protein, calcium and iron and is a relatively good source of vitamin E and several of the B vitamins. It contains an almost perfect balance of all eight essential amino acids needed for tissue development in humans. The protein in quinoa is considered to be a complete protein due to the presence of all 8 essential amino acids. It is a great choice for vegetarians who are looking for protein-rich foods. I love quinoa salad because it is so versatile and works with ANY vegetables that you throw in. Ingredients: 2 cups water 1 cup quinoa 1 pinch salt 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 cup lemon juice or White Balsamic vinegar (I personally prefer the Vinegar) 3 tomatoes, diced 1 cucumber, diced 2 bunches green onions, diced 1 bunch kale/spinach or rocca leaves chopped 1 cup fresh parsley or coriander, chopped (I looooove the coriander!) Directions:
Tip: This salad also tastes delicious with some added dried fruits. I often add Goji Berries as I love the mix of sweet and lemon flavours and the chewy texture. Golden sultanas also work very well!

It looks healthy and delicious at the same time. I will introduce this to my health-concious friends so that they will try considering this great option.
