Quinoa Salad

Here’s a salad idea from 2013 that I’m bringing over from my old blog’s recipe page. The original recipe, which I varied, can be found here. This was my second time cooking with quinoa, which I struggle to enjoy. But this worked fine!

Ingredients
3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 tomatoes, diced or 1/2 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, quartered and sliced thinly
A large handful of snow peas, sliced crossways
4 radicchio leaves, shredded
1/4 cup parsley leaves, chopped
1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped
1/2 long red (mild) chilli, diced finely

Dressing
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

Put quinoa and 1 1/2 cups cold water into a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10-12 mins. Drain.

Add salad ingredients and mix gently. Combine oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Toss salad.

THE COOK

I live and cook in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. The region is similar to the Mediterranean, with temperate climate, fertile hills, nearby ocean, wonderful local vegetables, fruit, wine and meat produced locally. Cooking has been a growing passion for me, about connecting culture, creativity, community and spirit. The small garden in our new home is currently being established with some native bush ‘tucker plants’ and a range of herbs. I’ve just bought a yuzu tree!
