Lately I have had a couple of requests for more warm weather recipes. I'm here to deliver people, so keep bringing the requests. A while ago I sent myself this recipe I saw on Tastespotting and now with it's tragic demise, I have no idea where it originated so I can't give credit where it's due. It's fast and super healthy with virtually no fat!!
Citrus Quinoa Salad
1/2 c organic quinoa
1 c organic, free-range chicken broth
3 oz freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1 orange)
1 Japanese cucumber peeled, seeded and cubed
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 (heaping) tsp cumin
1/4 roughly chopped parsley
salt and pepper
Bring chicken broth to a boil, add quinoa and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Set quinoa aside to cool. Combine all ingredients into chilled quinoa and serve chilled or at room temperature.
