I've been talking about making this dish for a few too many weeks. Its not special, its just yummy and easy. I also needed to make something light and low fat to balance out my heavy Mac and Cheese from last sunday.
Quinoa Salad:
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 diced small/medium zucchini
- 1 diced yellow squash
- 2 or 3 diced shallots, depending on the size
- 1 large tomato, diced seeds removed
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- S&P
Sauté shallots in olive oil over medium heat, till browned...you want nice caramelized flavor.
Add squash and zucchini, season with S&P, cook till tender
Fold cooked veggies, parsley, lemon juice and a little more S&PServe, hot, cold or warm temp...either way its a perfect light side dish that can check of your grain and veg at the same time
I cheated and served with a grocery store rotisserie chicken but its also great with grilled fish
