Quinoa Deliciousness

Quinoa is amazing. It's a complete protein (lots of aminos), fun to say (Keeeen-waa!), and almost disturbingly cute when it's cooked.

So I made this tasty salad.

Cook the quinoa and chill it before you add the veggies and whatnot. This makes about 5 servings.

1 cup uncooked quinoa ( I used a mix of light and dark)
2 cups water

While the quinoa is cooking, mix together:

1/3 cup crushed raw cashews
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrot
1 whole zucchini, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T fresh ginger, minced
3 T rice vinegar
1/2 t salt
1/2 t black pepper
1 t curry powder
1 t lemon juice

I let the veggies and cashews kinda marinate in the vinegar and spices, then I drained most of the liquid and added the ginger and garlic.

When the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and cool it in the fridge. When it cools, fluff it again and then mix in the other ingredients. It may need more salt.

Peace!
