I found this recipe online looking for quinoa recipes this one looked interesting and I copied and pasted the recipe but forgot to get the website, so sorry to whoever's recipe this is I am not giving you credit but it sure is yummy!!!
Quinoa is another new food to me. It's pronounced Keenwa as my sister says and is made with a 2:1 ratio, so 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water and is basically made like rice. Put in pot and bring to a boil then turn down heat and simmer for 15 minutes. I had my doubts but it really is a yummy food I will be using much more often.
Ingredients
2 cups quinoa (prepare as stated above, so 4 cups water. . .)
1 ½ cups green onions, sliced
1½ cups celery, thinly sliced
¾ cup pecans
½ cup walnuts
½ cup dried cranberries
8oz buffalo mozzarella, diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
2 tsp minced garlic
3 T olive oil
4 T balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp ground cumin
Directions:
Prepare all ingredients and give time for quinoa to chill. Parsley through cumin combine as salad dressing. I used a Pampered Chef dressing mixer. When all ingredients are prepared combine and let chill or serve immediately.
Side note: I didn't have enough pecans so I added some slivered almonds as well that were perfectly yum! Dennis said he would add more of the mozzarella so next time I might do that.
