Today, I want to share a super yummy and healthy Salad with you. It is a current favorite in our family.
Nice green and slightly crunchy.
Recipe is below the pictures.ย
My new dishes. They are baby blue. I like them so much, I bought them in different colors.ย
My little dreamer, Tatum.
Meet the newest members of my family. They are 1 day old. I'm officially a mommy of 5 kids and 8 Chickie's ๐ Need names still. Any suggestions??
Superfood Quinoa Saladย
(serves 4)
4 cups Broccoli florets
2 cups Green Peas (fresh/or frozen)
2 cups Cucumber (sliced)
1 Avocado (diced)
ยผ cup Onion (minced)
1 ยฝ cups Quinoa
200g Feta Cheese
1 hand full Alfalfa Sproutsย
1 bunch Cilantro (minced)
a little fresh Mint (optional)
6 tablespoons Olive Oil
Juice of 1 Lemon
Salt & Pepper to taste
ยฝ cup mixed Seeds slightly toasted (Sunflower, Pumpkin, Sesame, Chia)
Cook Quinoa in water until soft. Let cool down.
Cook Broccoli about 5 minutes so it has a slight crunch. (I think I over cooked my slightly). If you are using frozen peas, add them for about 1 minute to the pot. Remove Broccoli and Peas and put in ice water for about a minute , so the color of the veggies remain green.ย
In a bowl mix the cooled down Quinoa with all the veggies, and herbs. Make the Olive Oil/ Lemon Dressing. Mix into Salad. Crumble Feta cheese and toasted Seeds, add to the Salad.
Enjoy!
